What type of chemical reaction caused the disaster on the space shuttle challenger?

It wasn't a chemical reaction; it was a physical reaction. The O rings (a type of gasket sealing the sections of the booster rockets) became too brittle due to cold weather.
They failed and allowed the flames from the booster to melt and then ignite the external fuel tank.
It was oxygen and liquid hydrogen
