Oxidation reaction
No, its just a physical change******************2nd Opinion ******************Assuming strick means strike and the match actually lights, the answer is yes.
Physical properties of the match would include thing such as its state, colour, odour, density and solubility. Chemical changes in the match would be such things at its ability to burn and the chemical changes of when the match is lit and there becomes a flame. Hope this helps a bit :)
Rapid oxidation.
Volatile compounds in the wood undergo combustion, or reaction with oxygen, forming H20 and CO2 gases. Because of the makeup of wood being mostly carbon-based compounds, this reaction leaves behind soot and charcoal.
Burning a match involves a chemical reaction where the match tip reacts with oxygen in the air to produce heat and light. This process involves both physical and chemical changes, as the match undergoes combustion to produce new substances such as ash and smoke.

The ignition of matches is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction between the materials in the match head and the sulfur on the strike strip to produce heat and light. This reaction cannot be reversed to return the match to its original state.
When you strike a match, first the energy is chemical because of the chemcial on the tip of the match. Then, it is mechanical because your hand moves. Then it is thermal because the match lights on fire.
The source of activation energy that ignites a strike-anywhere match is friction between the match head and the matchbox, which creates enough heat to ignite the match head. When you strike the match against the rough surface on the matchbox, the friction generates heat that is sufficient to initiate the chemical reaction in the match head, leading to ignition.
There is a very small amount of kinetic energy in striking the match, but mostly you are releasing chemical potential energy. The match head just requires an increase in temperature to make it burn
Burning is a chemical reaction (oxidation).
the friction of the match causes the chemicals inside the match head to ignite...in cause as long as there is oxygen in the room the match will light as quick as you strike the match....in other words...the match only lights as fast as you can strike it
The thermal energy released when you strike a match comes from chemical energy of the substances that make up the match head. These substances go through a chemical reaction to give different new substances (products) with less energy (considered at the initial temperature), and thermal energy that flows to the surroundings (heat) at a lower temperature.
Striking a match is an example of an endothermic reaction. It is also an example of simple combustion and a chemical reaction.
The stick of a match contains chemical energy, which is released when the match is struck, causing a chemical reaction that produces heat and light.
