When you strike a match, friction between the match head and the striking surface generates heat, igniting the chemicals in the match head. This process produces a flame, which is the result of combustion between the chemicals in the match, such as phosphorus and sulfur, and oxygen in the air. The burning match then releases light, heat, and various combustion byproducts, including smoke and gases.
You strike a match on the rough strip on the side of the matchbox.

Strike it on a match box.

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
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.
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.
there like strike anywhere matches where you can strike them on anything that creates friction.
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.
