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. When you strike it on the box the two compounds create an explosive mixture which is then ignited by the heat and sparks produced by friction between the strip and the match head. Strike anywhere matches put the two compounds together on the match, the red is the phosphorous and the white tip is potassium chlorate. When you strike the match they mix and catch fire similar to striking a safety match on the box.

Why are the tertiary colors called tertiary colors?

The primary (first) colours are the basic building blocks. You use them to make other colours but can not mix other colours to get them. The primary colours are: Red Blue Yellow. The secondary (second) colours are the result of mixing two of the primary colours in equal parts to achieve a colour. The secondary colours are: Purple - 1 part Red + 1 part Blue Orange - 1part Red + 1 part Yellow Green - 1 part Blue + 1 part Yellow The tertiary (third) colours are the result of adding one part primary colour to the secondary colours it is part of, resulting in colours closer to the primaries than the secondaries. The tertiary colours are: Red-Purple - 2 parts Red + 1 part Blue Blue-Purple - 2 parts Blue + 1 part Red Blue-Green - 2 parts Blue + 1 part Yellow Yellow-Green - 2 parts Yellow + 1 part Blue Yellow-Orange - 2 parts Yellow + 1 part Red Red-Orange - 2 parts Red + 1 part Yellow.

What is the red bit at the end of a match made of?

The red bit at the end of a match, known as the match head, is typically made of a mixture of chemicals including potassium chlorate, sulfur, and glass powder. This combination allows for ignition when struck against a rough surface. The red color often comes from the addition of red phosphorus or other pigments. The exact composition can vary depending on the type of match (safety matches vs. strike-anywhere matches).


What happens if you ate the red part of the match?

Nothing, a little sulfur won't hurt you.


Do matches light because of friction?

yes, the red part of the match on the end of the stick along with the red piece on the side of the box have tiny spikes which, when rubbed, create friction. The friction causes heat, which ignites the tip of the match.
