The video tutorial focuses on chemical energy, using a candle as a primary example. It begins by explaining how striking a match initiates a chemical reaction through friction, which then ignites a candle. The tutorial discusses the role of chemical energy in everyday activities like cooking and lighting. As the candle burns, the video observes changes in the candle's state, such as melting wax and the formation of liquid wax. Finally, the tutorial demonstrates the cessation of chemical energy when the candle is extinguished, leading to the solidification of wax.
