ancient Egypt. The modern safety
match was developed only about two
A mixture of antimony trisulphide.
phosphorus with some glue and
match made of suitable wood. When
struck against a rough surface, white
phosphorus got ignited due to the heat
hundred years ago.
chlorate and
starch was applied on the head of a match made of suitable wood when we strike against a rough surface
white phosphorus proved to be
dangerous both for the workers
involved in the manufacturing of
matches and for the users.
These days the head of the safety
match contains only antimony
trisulphide and potassium chlorate.
The rubbing surface has powdered
glass and a little red phosphorus
(which is much less dangerous).
When the match is struck against
the rubbing surface, some red
phosphorus-gets converted into white
phosphorus. This immediately reacts
with potassium chlorate in the
matchstick head to produce enough
heat to ignite antimony trisulphide
and start the combustion. guys I want meaning of this pararagraph quickly because my laptop battery is low I want to see quickly so please guys ​
