The state of matter describes the distinct possible forms of matter, which could be solid, liquid or gas. Hence, the softer wax is in solid state and yes, it is possible for the wax to change without changing state.

  • The original state of the unlit wax is solid and can only change into liquid state through melting.

  • The softer wax has only undergone physical change which occurs when materials gain or lose energy. The energy loss by the wax is due to the rolling it was subjected to.

Therefore, the softer wax is still in solid state and softer wax only lost energy and thus did not change state.
