The solid wax of the candle melts, and eventually vapourises, then burns and becomes a gas.
When a candle is lit, the wax melts into a liquid state due to the heat from the flame. The liquid wax is then drawn up the wick through capillary action and vaporizes into a gas, which is what burns to produce the flame.
When a candle is lit, the solid wax melts and turns into liquid wax. As the candle burns, the liquid wax is drawn up the wick by capillary action and evaporates, creating a gas that then burns and produces heat and light.
The melted wax from a lit candle is typically referred to as "candle drippings."
The change of state is melting. When a candle wax is heated, it transitions from a solid state to a liquid state.
Potential energy is in an unlit candle, which is converted to heat energy, once the candle is lit.

Melted/Melting.
The chemical change in a lit candle is called combustion. Combustion is a rapid chemical reaction between oxygen in the air and the fuel (in this case, the wax in the candle) that produces heat, light, and carbon dioxide.
That is correct, a candle (or the material of which it is composed, which is usually paraffin) undergoes a chemical change when it burns.
The energy needed to change the state of matter of a candle is primarily in the form of heat energy. When the candle is lit, the heat energy from the flame melts the candle wax, causing it to change from a solid to a liquid state. Further heating vaporizes the liquid wax, transforming it into gaseous wax molecules that combine with oxygen to produce light and heat energy.
The melted wax from a lit candle is typically referred to as "candle drippings."
If you mean lit as in "He lit the candle", then the preset tense for lit is Light. "I am lighting the candle."
A paschal candle is lit
The candle traditionally lit on the second Sunday of Advent is the Bethlehem candle.
Both "The candle is lighted" and "The candle is lit" are correct ways to convey that the candle is currently giving off light. "Lit" is more commonly used in spoken English.
