What is the source of activation energy that ignites a strike-anywhere match?

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.


Where does the energy to strike the match come from in the first place?

The action of striking the match across a rough surface creates enough heat from friction - so that the chemicals spontaneously combust.


What type of force is used to light a matchstick?

What forms of energy happen when you strike a match?

When you strike a match, mechanical energy is used to move the matchstick against the rough striking surface. This generates heat energy due to friction, which ignites the combustible chemicals on the match head. The chemical reaction releases thermal energy and light energy in the form of a flame.


What is the red bit on a match?

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.
