Question
how is energy changing when a match burns?
light energy changes to heat and chemical
energy.
mechanical energy changes to heat energy
and friction.
chemical energy changes to light and heat
energy.
heat energy changes to chemical and light
energy.
When a match burns, the chemicals in the match head undergo a chemical reaction. Chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of these substances. During combustion, these bonds break, and the energy is released in the form of light (we see the flame) and heat (we feel the warmth). So, it is chemical energy that is being converted to light and heat energy.
