Best Answer

The thermal energy released when you strike a match comes from chemical energy

of the substances that make up the match head. These substances go through a

chemical reaction to give different new substances (products) with less energy (considered at the initial temperature), and thermal energy that flows to the surroundings (heat) at a lower temperature.
