Burning of the wick or candle material, thermal dissociation of candle material.
It is a chemical change.
That is correct, a candle (or the material of which it is composed, which is usually paraffin) undergoes a chemical change when it burns.
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!
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.
Burning a candle is a chemical change because the wax undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air to form new substances like carbon dioxide and water. This process results in the candle getting shorter as it burns.
The wax melts and vaporizes, these changes are physical changes caused by te flame. They are a change in state only, and in these no new substance is formed. The chemical change is the combustion of the wax and the wick
It constituen carbon and hydrogen converted into CO2 and H2O. It is the chemical change of candle
It is a chemical change.
It is a chemical change.
It is a physical change because when it melts it is still a candle just a melted one

Can you reverse the change?

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.
Yes. That is a chemical change.
