What is the chemical name of candle wax?
A chemical name for the main ingredient of a candle is "paraffin", but this is a generic chemical name and does not correspond to any exact formula. It can be written generically as CnH(2n + 2), where n represents a collection of positive integers that are all high enough for the compounds represented for a particular choice of n to be solids at room temperature.
Is candle wax melting physical property?
Melting candle wax is a chemical change. Why? Because when you cook or burn candle wax it melts so it is a chemical change.

What is the formula for chemical energy?
Energy has no chemical formula as it is not a chemical.
What physical and chemical changes occur when a wax candle burn?
Some wax burns, and as it does so, chemical changes occurs. Wax converts to CO2, CO, and H2O. That is an exothermic reaction The rest of the wax melts with the increased temperature. That is the physical change.
