Identify the type of reaction in

\[ \text{KBrO}_3(s) \rightarrow \text{KBr}(s) + \text{O}_2(g) \]

I had this question in chemistry, and i'm sure it's a decomposition reaction.

I believe an oxidation reaction is occurring

The reaction KBrO 3 ​ ( s ) → KBr ( s ) + O 2 ​ ( g ) is a decomposition reaction because a single compound, potassium bromate, breaks down into two simpler products: potassium bromide and oxygen gas. These types of reactions typically occur due to heat or other forms of energy. Thus, this is classified as a decomposition reaction in chemistry.
