Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
In a chemical reaction, where a chemical compound breaks on heating to give two or more two chemical compounds, the reaction is called a decomposition reaction. It is considered the opposite of a combination reaction.
Potassium chloride is formed from potassium chlorate. In the presence of a MnO2 catalyst, when  KClO3 is heated, it breaks down and produces potassium chloride and oxygen gas. This is an example of a decomposition reaction.
The chemical equation is:
             
2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2
