Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
When a candle burns, both physical and chemical changes occur:
-
Physical Change: The wax of the candle melts due to the heat of the flame. This is a reversible change as the wax can solidify again when cooled.
-
Chemical Change: The wax undergoes combustion, reacting with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapour. This is an irreversible chemical reaction.
