The physical property of a material implies majorly the change of state and shape of the material. Whereas the chemical properties includes the change of the material from a compound to another. In the case of burning candle, the wax is changing from solid to liquid. On the other hand the liquid wax when get cool become solid again but the shape of the wax changed. Thus in terms of physical properties during the burning of a candle the wax changes its state and shape as well with increasing and decreasing of temperature.
