How is great britain different from the united kingdom

hope it helps:)

Explanation:

If you live in the UK, you've probably had the irritating experience of trying to find "United Kingdom" in a list of countries, only to discover that some well-meaning person has listed the country under the name "Great Britain" instead. It's an annoyance, but it's also indicative of a wider problem: people just don't know how to refer to the UK.

All over the world, people use the terms England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom interchangeably, even though they all mean different things. Indeed, a fair chunk of actual Britons probably can't articulate the difference either—and don't exactly help perceptions by referring to themselves as "British" rather than "United Kingdomes."

But in case you're ever wondering how you should refer to the UK (and, perhaps more importantly, how you shouldn't), here's a quick guide to understanding the various ways to refer to the rainy corner of northwest Europe that once ran the largest empire in history.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
