The thing on the end of a match is called the match head. It is typically made from a mixture of oxidizing agents, sulfur, and glass powder, which ignite when struck against a rough surface. This chemical reaction produces the flame needed to light the match. The composition can vary between safety matches and strike-anywhere matches, affecting how they ignite.
