Matches work by creating a chemical reaction through friction. When a match is struck against a rough surface, it ignites a mixture of chemicals on the match head, typically containing phosphorus and sulfur. This reaction produces heat and flame, which can then ignite the wooden stick of the match. The combustion continues until the match is extinguished or burns out completely.
