3-- Heat, Electro-magnetic(light), and potential
A lit match has both kinetic and potential energy. The potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the match head before it is lit, and the kinetic energy is released as heat and light energy when the match is ignited.
When a match is lit, the chemical energy stored in the match head is converted into thermal energy (heat) and light energy. This causes an increase in the thermal energy and light energy stored in the surroundings.
Technically its potential energy until it's lit, and then it depends on the match brand.
A lit candle has thermal energy (heat) due to the flame, light energy emitted by the flame, and chemical potential energy stored in the wax that is being converted to heat and light through combustion.
When a match is lit, chemical energy stored in the match head is converted to thermal energy through a chemical reaction called combustion. This thermal energy raises the temperature of the match head, causing it to ignite and release light and heat energy in the form of a flame.

holding a lit match to paper
Well, honey, when you strike that match, you're converting the potential energy stored in the match head into thermal energy through friction. As the match ignites, the chemical potential energy in the match head is transformed into heat and light energy. So, basically, you're turning a boring old match into a fiery little showstopper.
Light and heat
A lit candle releases light energy in the form of visible light and thermal energy in the form of heat.
The energy transformation involved in striking and lighting a match is primarily chemical to thermal energy. When the match is struck, friction creates heat, causing the chemicals in the match head to react and produce a flame, which is a release of thermal energy.
The total amount of energy remains constant, but it is transformed from chemical energy in the match head to thermal energy (heat) and electromagnetic energy (light) when the match is lit. This is an example of energy conservation in a closed system.
