Is scented an adjective?
Yes, "scented" is an adjective used to describe something that has a pleasant smell or fragrance.
Why can you smell a burning scented candle across the room?
You can smell a burning scented candle across the room due to the molecules released from the candle vaporizing and dispersing through the air. These molecules enter your nose and stimulate your olfactory senses, allowing you to detect the scent even from a distance.
Why does scented candles burn faster then unscented candles?
Scented candles contain additional oils and chemicals that can make them burn faster than unscented candles. These added ingredients can alter the candle's composition, affecting its burning rate.
What makes candles scented?
Candles are scented using fragrance oils or essential oils. These oils are added to the wax during the candle-making process, allowing the scent to be released when the candle is burned.
Why does a scented candle smell stronger when lit than when unlit?
When a scented candle is lit, the heat from the flame causes the wax to melt and release the fragrance oils into the air, leading to a stronger smell. When the candle is unlit, the fragrance is contained within the wax and is not actively being dispersed into the air.
