It's the sulphur nitrate which catches fire.
The head of the match where the flammable material is located is usually the first part of the match stick to catch on fire.
Because of lower ignition temperature of the chemical applied on match stick.
With a match stick :)
The top of a match is called the "match head." It is typically made of a mixture of chemicals that ignite when struck against a rough surface. The match head is designed to produce a flame that can be sustained long enough for the stick itself to catch fire.

Air consists of 3/4 th content of nitrogen which is inert and not combustible. But Oxygen is combustible hence when you strike a match stick it takes Oxygen from air to cause fire
It will quickly burn and possibly even catch on fire. Don't do it.
they only catch on fire when u pour a gallon of petrol over it and light a match...
A match burns to produce fire. It burns because of the reaction between the sulfur in the match and the object it is striking.
The most common cause if usually PETROL and a MATCH!
