physical- the chemical make up of the candle does not change - it is still wax, just in liquid form. Once it is no longer hot, it will harden just as it was before - it is just like ice- the chemical make up is the same , it has just taken on a different physical form and can be reverted back to its original phyical form

superb of success with this one. unwell have an interest to confirm what different persons propose. that's a puzzling because of the fact the wax desires melting or dissolving. i think you are able to not elevate the carpet up & have already picked off what you are able to by ability of hand.. i'm afraid i don't understand of any solvents which will artwork on wax, yet possibly a steam purifier might help. It won't get rid of the wax, however the warmth may be adequate to soften the wax& enable it circulate added down into the carpet so as that this is hidden.

i think as you see the candle melt it is physically, because the heat from the flame is causing the wax's cells to move faster and faster. Thank God for fire.
