A mach which usually has a different colored tip. the tip is sulfur which is the oxidiser for the phosphorus in the match. Which allows you to strike it on any rough surface. regular matches the sulfur is in the sandpaper you strike it on.
White phosphorus.
there like strike anywhere matches where you can strike them on anything that creates friction.
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.

On a safety match (the kind you strike on a box) the red bit is primarily a compound called potassium chlorate. The strip on the box is red phosphorous. When you strike it on the box the two compounds create an explosive mixture which is then ignited by the heat and sparks produced by friction between the strip and the match head. Strike anywhere matches put the two compounds together on the match, the red is the phosphorous and the white tip is potassium chlorate. When you strike the match they mix and catch fire similar to striking a safety match on the box.
