Step-by-step explanation:
When a match burns, it undergoes a chemical change. Matches use sulfur, phosphate and a friction agent held together by a binding agent. With a match, heat ignites the phosphorous on the head of the match. ... The initial heat from burning phosphorous breaks down potassium chlorate in the match head, which releases oxygen.
