Yes, lighting a candle involves a chemical reaction. When the flame touches the wick, it causes the wax to melt and vaporize, which then reacts with oxygen in the air to produce heat, light, water vapor, and carbon dioxide. This chemical reaction is known as combustion.

Is lighting a chemical change?

Yes. While act of melting wax is a physical change, because you can remould it, the wax is actually what is primarily burned as fuel. You cannot unburn the wick nor the consumed wax. Remember, if it can be redone, it is probably physical and vice versa.The wick of a candle is used to light it and is used as a medium for burning the wax. As the wax is heated, it is soaked into the burning wick. As the fire burns the wax on the wick, more melted wax is absorbed into by the wick. As the wax burns down, so does the wick.
