* Ammonium dichromate on heating yields nitrogen, water and chromium(III) oxide.
* Ammonium nitrate on strong heating yields dinitrogen oxide ("laughing gas") and water.
* Ammonium nitrite on heating yields nitrogen gas and water.
* Barium azide on heating yields barium metal and nitrogen gas.
* Sodium azide on heating at  violently decomposes to nitrogen and metallic sodium.
* Sodium nitrate on heating yields sodium nitrite and oxygen gas.
* Organic compounds like tertiary amines on heating undergo Hofmann elimination and yield secondary amines and alkenes.
