Rapid oxidation.
Oxidation reaction
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.
Because the process of producing the flame is a chemical reaction. The reaction can only exist if there are unused chemicals to fuel the change. Once all the chemicals are used up - the reaction stops.
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 :)
a chemical reaction (combustion reaction) the heat from the friction of the sand paper lights the match. the flame burns the chemicals and the oxygen in the air. whatever isn't burnt is left on the matchstick. this is mainly carbon (i think) whick is the black stuuf =]
Oxidation reaction
Burning is a chemical reaction (oxidation).
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.
The energy transformation of a burning match is chemical energy being converted into thermal (heat) energy and light energy. The match ignites due to a chemical reaction between the match head and the oxygen in the air, releasing heat and light as byproducts.

Reactants
Striking a match initiates a chemical reacftion (burning). The proximity of the Bunsen burner has nothing to do with it.
