What type of energy does a match use?

when a match is struck the friction caused is actually the electromagnetic force of the molecules which make up the match stick and the surface struck against. The electrons within the atoms of the match stick repel against the surfaces electrons and causes excitement within the atoms of the match stick. The excitement is actually heat and the kerosene on the end of the match ignites into a flame. The flame is excited electrons. They have so much energy that they are able to escape the attractive force from the nucleus. The reason why the flame is hot is because of the energy the escaping electrons carry. As for the energy, It would be the kinetic energy of the electrons. Suppose you could call that chemical energy but that's really just kinetic energy.

What energy takes place in a matchstick?

Initially the plain old match stick is heated by frictional forces as the match is struck. This heat ignited the compound on the match head with the required temperature of ignition is reached. The heat transfer process is conduction. The lit match emits heat energy by radiation. It also will produce heating of the air by conduction and convection.
