No, paraffin is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. Once it has this, it can go on the Periodic Table. So, as paraffin has many different types of atom in it, it's not an element.
Paraffin is a hydrocarbon and therefore contains hydrogen bonded to carbon. Paraffins can be any of the three states of matter at standard temperature and pressure, depending on molecular weight, and paraffins are combustible. Carbon is an element, containing no other element, and is always solid at standard temperature. Although it can be burned with some difficulty, it is not combustible in the same dangerous manner as lower molecular weight paraffins.
I have made candles using paraffin wax. Paraffin oil is kerosene.
The process of breaking down paraffin is called paraffin degradation. It involves breaking down the paraffin molecules into smaller components through chemical or biological means.
No, paraffin is not an electrolyte. Paraffin is a type of wax made from saturated hydrocarbons and does not conduct electricity like electrolytes do.
No, paraffin is not an acid. Paraffin is a type of hydrocarbon that is often used in wax products, but it does not have acidic properties.

Paraffin has covalent bonds.

The fuel used is paraffin
Paraffin is a mixture, not a chemical compound.

Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft solid that is used as a lubricant, when this is melted down it becomes a paraffin liquid. Paraffin oil is used in cosmetics and medical settings and is a highly refined mineral oil.
It is almost 100% paraffin, it is made from wax and water.
Paraffin wax candles have been around for centuries. Most candles are made from paraffin.
Yes, paraffin is soluble in alcohol. I have personally dissolved paraffin in alcohol. But I can tell you that it dissolves very slowly unless the alcohol is heated. If you use the right proportions of paraffin and alcohol, what you get is a paraffin paste. You can use this to wax furniture, etc.
