why a matchstick is rubbed before burning it

Answers

Answered by brainlyuser13

When a matchstick is rubbed with the matchbox, it lights up due to friction.

Answered by amtkgt9

Answer:

When the matchstick is rubbed against the side of the match box, some of the red phosphorus is converted into white phosphorus; this immediately reacts with potassium chlorate in the matchstick head to produce enough heat to ignite antimony trisulphide and starts the combustion of matchstick.
