the easy answer is yes. Solid and liquid forms you can clearly see. Since the boiling point of most waxes is under 1000 degrees C and the temp of most candle flames is well over 1000, it is vaporized (boiled). There are experiments on the web that prove that it is the vapor that is burning, not the liquid wax absorbed up the wick.

Why does wax shrink over time?
The oxygen in the air eats away all the particles in the wax and without all the particles it shrinks.
How is friction is connected to waxing the surfboards?
When you rub a bar of wax on a board, the heat caused by the rubbing causes the wax to melt into bumps all over the board.
What happens to the matter of a burning candle?
The matter undergoes a chemical change. The wax and wick react with oxygen to form water vapor, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and soot. Some of the carbon is left behind on the wick.
Is Candle wax a conductor of electricity?
No, candle wax would be considered an insulator.
Data for young modulus of candle wax?
The data for Young's modulus of candle wax (paraffin wax) has been previously measured to have a value of 61.4 MPa.
What is the material in a white candle?
all candles aremade of wax, do it dosent matter waht colour it is it is amde of wax, or sometimes bees wax
Name the different states of matter in which burning candle wax can resist?
solid, liquid and gas :)
What state of matter is a candle?
Solid, Liquid, and Gas. Solid is the actual candle, liquid is the wax, and anytime u have a liquid you also have a small amount of evaportion depending on the temp.
How can a candle chance from solid to a liquid and then change back to a soild?
Well this is very simple. When you light a candle, the wax heats up and melts. As the liquid wax drips down the side of a candle, it gets further away from the heat, cools downs, and becomes solid again. Wax is very quick at changing through states (I'm not sure about "gas wax") so it can do all of this in a matter of seconds. Hopefully this helped
Wax like all matter comes in many phases. What are the three possible phases?
gas soild lique
How do you determine of total fatty matter in soap using bee wax or wax cake method?
The total fatty matter in soap can be determined in a few different ways. The soap can be reacted with either bee wax or a wax cake to determine the fat percentage.
At what temperature does a wax seal for a toilet melt?
Depends on the origin of the wax. The melting points of BEE'S wax is 45C. However, other waxes exist such as carnauba (a vegetable wax, 78-85C) and paraffin (a mineral wax, 47-65C). To be safe you should assume that the wax is going to melt with temperatures exceeding
Describe how does wax stop rust?
what does it matter? as long as it does it, who cares how? what does it matter? as long as it does it, who cares how?
What are the phases of the warming up?
Wax, like all matter, comes in many phases. What are the three possible phases? gas. liquid, and solid
Do all pregnant mares wax?
No...not all mares wax before foaling.
Does the color of wax on a candle matter how fast it burns?
Maybe Maybe NOT
Does the wax museum still exist in kings cross?
No, it has been gone for at least 20 years
