What Type of Energy Is Produced by a Burning Candle? The primary forms of energy produced by a burning candle are  heat and light. These come from the burning of fuel, in this case wax and, to a much lesser extent, the string of the candle's wick. Chemical bonds are the basis of the energy released in the form of heat and light when a candle burns. Their dissolution during the process of the candle's burning, precipitated by rising temperatures and resulting increases in the agitation of molecular structures, produce these visible and tangible forms of energy.

An older meaning refers to a scissor-like tool used to trim the wick of a candle.

Candle Science How Candles Burn. All waxes are essentially hydrocarbons, which means they are largely composed of hydrogen (H) and carbon (C) atoms. When you light a candle, the heat of the flame melts the wax near the wick. This liquid wax is then drawn up the wick by capillary action. The heat of the flame vaporizes the liquid wax (turns it into a hot gas), and starts to break down the hydrocarbons into molecules of hydrogen and carbon.

- Best Answer: Nope-A candle wick is a wick specifically adapted for use in a candle. A candle wick works by providing a mechanism, known as capillary action, to transport the fuel, typically melted candle wax, to the flame.When the liquid fuel reaches the flame it then vaporizes and burns.ost candle wicks are impregnated or coated with wax to provide the initial fuel source when the candle is lit. While the wick is consumed in the process of burning a candle the real fuel for the flame is the melted wax.
