Principle: A match head contains red phosphorus, sulfur, and potassium chlorate. The heat generated by striking a match causes red phosphorus and sulfur to burn, while potassium chlorate decomposes to release oxygen that aids in the combustion. Fun fact: The earliest friction matches had only sulfur on their heads; in 1826, the British chemist John Walker was the first to use potassium chlorate. However, his matches were very dangerous, as flames would often break off and set clothes and carpets on fire. Recorder: UltraSlo. Hazard: Very low, but do not give matches to children as it may cause a fire.
