Question

“When we light a candle, only the wax in it burns but the wick does not burn along with the wax." Give reason...

Answer 1

because the combustion is not carried out in a good way.

Answer 2

The reason the wick does not burn is because the vaporizing wax cools the exposed wick and protects it. You may have seen the camping trick of boiling water in a paper cup. The cup does not burn because the water inside cools it. The liquid wax does the same thing for the wick.
