An example would be the flame causing the wax to melt.
It is a physical change because when it melts it is still a candle just a melted one
Melting is the physical change.
This is because a candle will change its whole form and stay that way, which is a physical outer change. And a candle wick only burns, it doesn't change it's appearance.
The melting of a candle is a physical change. It involves a change in state from solid to liquid due to the absorption of heat energy, without any change in the chemical composition of the candle wax.
It is a chemical change.
A burning candle involves both physical and chemical changes. The physical change is the melting of the wax, while the chemical change is the wax combining with oxygen in the air to produce heat, light, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
The wax of the candle melts and then rehardens. This is a physical change and reversible
When the wax melts
Physical change means change physically while chemical change means change chemically or change in chemical properties.Like if you would drop a chip of zinc in sulphuric acid it will its color will be changed which is no doubt a physical change.But,also its properties are changed as it will be transformed into zinc sulphate from simple zinc,thus it also undergoes a chemical change. Now,with your question,the candle breaks but the candle remains the candle,so,its not a chemical change but a physical change only.Hope it helps!
It is actually both. The burning of the wick involves a chemical change. The physical change is the wax.
a physical change , something that is one thing but change into another
it is a chemical change
