When a candle burns, both physical and chemical changes take place. On a burning candle, the wax melts but can be solidified again on cooling. This shows that melting of wax is a physical change. Burning of candles also produces light and some gases like carbon dioxide. Hence, burning the wick of the candle is a chemical change.
