Detailed Solution

A substance decomposing in the presence of heat is said to be thermally decomposing. Metals from alkaline earth create azide. M(N3)2 This is the general formula for this. Thermal breakdown of alkaline earth azide yields metal and nitrogen gas.

Thermal decomposition is the reaction of material breaking down due to heat. A decomposition temperature is a temperature at which a substance began to chemically break down. The heat is absorbed in this endothermic reaction, which breaks the compound's chemical bonds.
Barium azide is a substance that is not organic. Its formulation is  Ba(N3)2. It has an explosive quality. One barium metal atom forms an ionic interaction with the negatively charged nitrogen atom of the triazide group (N- = N+ = N-) in the barium azide structure.
Barium azide is a metal nitride with the structure-

Ba(N3)2Ba+3N2
On heating, it decomposes into metal and nitrogen gas. Therefore given reaction is true.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.
