Question

Can you burn a piece of wood by bringing a lighted matchstick near it explain

Answer 1

As a matter of general knowledge, wood comprises of high ignition temperature.

As a result it takes time to get burnt.

Thus it is not possible to burn a piece of wood by simply bringing a lighted matchstick nearby it.

But if the wood is heated then you cannot burn it with a matchstick, because wood has higher ignition temperature which cannot catch the fire from a single matchstick.

Answer 2

If wood is heated a little ,it does not catch fire because wood has a higher ignition temperature which is not reached by little heat being supplied to it by a matchstick .
