Question

how is it that we can hold a match while it is burning

Answer 1

Answer:

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. To keep the fire going, the match needs more oxygen than is available from the air alone.
