Answer #1

Reactants of KClO3(Being the match head) and P4 (Being the striking surface) makes the safety match to light up.

Untreated striking surface means a surface of packing lacking P​​​​​​4. Without the P​​​​​​4, the chemical reaction cannot take place to make fire.

So, overall we can say that , If you slide a safety match across an untreated striking surface, it will not light because there is no counter reactant.
