Acandle’s wick is the fabric string that holds the flame, and it burns down at a constant slow pace when the candle is lit. the wick is usually surrounded by wax. which is the most important property of covalent compounds that makes them useful for making candle wax?

A low melting point.

Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons between atoms of different elements. The bonds formed between these covalent compounds are generally weak therefore, they exhibit low melting point. Candle is made up of covalent compounds having low melting point which facilitates it's burning.
