What is the red bit on a match?
On a safety match (the kind you strike on a box) the red bit is primarily a compound called potassium chlorate. The strip on the box is red phosphorous.

Strike anywhere matches put the two compounds together on the match, the red is the phosphorous and the white tip is potassium chlorate.
