...the head of the match a called the 'HEAD' or 'TIP'
The top of a match is called the "match head." It is typically made of a mixture of chemicals that ignite when struck against a rough surface. The match head is designed to produce a flame that can be sustained long enough for the stick itself to catch fire.
The red part at the end of a match is called the match head. It is made of a mixture of potassium chlorate, sulfur, and phosphorus, which ignites when struck against a rough surface.
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.
When striking a match, the chemical energy stored in the match-head is transformed into heat and light energy.
When you light a match, a chemical reaction occurs as the match head ignites due to the friction between the match head and the striking surface. This reaction releases heat, allowing the match head to reach its ignition point. The ignition point then causes the match head to combust, producing a flame as the wood and chemicals in the match head react with oxygen in the air.
Friction when the head of the match is rubbed against a course surface which in itself creates head whcih ignites the match
A match :)
Rubbing the match head on a rough surface creates friction, which generates heat. This heat is essential for initiating the reaction between the match head's chemicals (such as potassium chlorate and red phosphorus) and the sulfur present in the matchstick. This reaction leads to the match igniting and producing a flame.
When a match is struck, the friction between the match head and the striking surface produces heat, igniting the match head due to the heat-sensitive chemicals present. This process requires work to break the chemical bonds in the match head and generate enough heat for combustion to occur.
I'll burn your head. That is what the match say to candle.
When the match head is suspended at the top of the burner, it is not in contact with the necessary fuel (gas) and oxygen mixture required for combustion. Thus, without access to these two components, the match head will not ignite.
When a match is struck, friction between the match head and the striking surface generates heat. This heat then ignites the chemicals in the match head, triggering a chemical reaction that produces more heat as the match burns.
