The black substance on a burnt match is primarily composed of carbon, resulting from the incomplete combustion of the matchstick's wood and the chemicals used in its production. This carbon forms soot, which consists of fine particles and can also contain other compounds, including ash and various organic compounds. The structure of soot is largely amorphous, lacking a defined crystalline arrangement. Additionally, some inorganic materials, such as potassium compounds, may be present due to the match's ignition composition.
