Oxidation reaction
the friction of the match causes the chemicals inside the match head to ignite...in cause as long as there is oxygen in the room the match will light as quick as you strike the match....in other words...the match only lights as fast as you can strike it
No, its just a physical change******************2nd Opinion ******************Assuming strick means strike and the match actually lights, the answer is yes.
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.
You strike a match on the rough strip on the side of the matchbox.
When you strike a match, first the energy is chemical because of the chemcial on the tip of the match. Then, it is mechanical because your hand moves. Then it is thermal because the match lights on fire.

you strike the match
When you strike a match, the friction generates enough heat to ignite the red phosphorus on the match head. The red phosphorus then reacts with the potassium chlorate in the match head, which acts as an oxidizing agent, facilitating the combustion of the matchstick and allowing it to burn.
Strike it on a match box.
i believe it is a
