These compounds burn to create carbon dioxide and water, and also a few smaller carbon compounds, which is evident as the smoke rising occasionally from the flame. The flame you see and the heat you feel rising off of the burning wick is the evidence of an exothermic chemical reaction.Yes, burning a candle is a chemical reaction.
