Hi dear

Good morning

This is your answers

The head of safety matches are made of an oxidizing agent such as potassium chlorate, mixed with sulfur, fillers and glass powder. The side of the box contains red phosphorus, binder and powdered glass.

The fuel comes from the sulfur (that's another chemical) and wax in the head of the match. It also comes from the wood in the matchstick. When it comes to oxygen, the match has a secret supply. Stored inside the match head is another chemical called “potassium chlorate”.
