The smoke from the candle has vaporized wax, which is highly flammable vs carbon soot. When the flame touches the stream of vaporized wax (smoke) the heat is transferred back to the wick relighting it.
When a candle "goes out" the burning of the wax has stopped, but there is still some burning of the wick material. Typically this burning is less intense and less "clean" than the burning of the wax and gives off more smoke. Once the wick stops burning, there should not be any more smoke.
Phenomena during the candle burning:- melting- evaporation- oxydation- thermal decompositionIt is a chemical change because gas is use as a chemical. It also has friction when your trying to light it. The match is similar.Burning a candle is a chemical change because the wick is being changed into two things: ash and smoke. It is no longer a wick, and it's properties have changed.because oxygen is reacting with the flame...
A very good question my freind and im surprised no one has given you the answer. This is very unusual thing since smoke is carbon dioxide and is NOT flamable but however the candle is coated in "proffin" so its the proffin in the smoke that causes the candle to light back up. im not registerd to this site i just thought i would answer your Q if you had any other Q's or wanted to thank me my email is: j0k3r@live.com that is a zero not an o lol WRONG /\ Actually, smoke is quite flammable. Smoke is generally seen from fires that are burning every inefficiently (such as one that is just put), thus the smoke contains a lot of the unburnt fuel. Efficient fires to not produce smoke. Anyway, the smoke from the blown out candle is fuel...as it travels upwards it mixes with the oxygen in the air...thus we have two side of the fire triangle. However, since you cooled the candle (by blowing on it) you removed the last part, the heat; thus combustion stopped. When you light the smoke with a match, you re-introduce the heat and combustion begins anew. Never heard of "proffin" nor was I able to find it on google or anywhere. Did you mean paraffin? Candles are made of paraffin (that is actually what burns) the wick allows the flame to be incident on the surface of the wax; the wax vaporizes and is actually what burns not the wick. -nickccoates@gmail.com
The smoke that is released when a candle is extinguished is white and is a liquid or solid wax. It is produced from the condensation of the wax vapors.
white from combustin

you may not see it but once you blow out the candle, small embers are still inside the wick of the candle and burning. because the embers are so small thriving off the air particles thus creating the smoke you see.Additional answerIt does smoke while burning, if you look closely enough. In fact, if you put a piece of glass or tin above the flame it will become blackened with smoke particles (carbon).

Here a carbon compound is burning which eventually leads to the formation of smoke. That said, all candles create smoke, but depending on how they are made, some smoke much more than others.
The air above a burning candle can feel warmer than the surrounding air due to the heat generated by the flame. It may also feel slightly different in terms of air quality, as the burning process releases smoke, soot, and other combustion byproducts.
A candle when it burns lets out smoke.
Yes but it will be harsh and most likely unpleasant to smoke.
Candle Smoke - 1998 was released on: USA: September 1998
light travels on its sources by energy transformations ;for example match=fire=heat=light=smoke or burnted candle wax
qualitative - smells of smoke, hot air from flame, flame is orange and blue at the bottom, flame moves around, [unscented candle - no smell], wick is burning and turning black. quantitative - sorry i don't have the answer. I'm looking for it myself :(
