Best Answer

Since candles are generally made from wax, fat, or other oily materials, they pretty much always contain the elements carbon and hydrogen. They usually also contain oxygen - especially if they are made from fats. Contaminants and additives can incorporate other elements for fragrances and colors for the flames. Fragrances are usually restricted to carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen but sometimes include nitrogen or sulfur. Candles with colored flames usually incorporate trace amounts of metals such as copper, sodium, potassium, etc. to give the flame a different color.
