The compound that does not proudce nitrogen gas by the thermal decomposition is

$Ba(N_{3})_{2}$

$(NH_{4})_{2}Cr_{2}O_{7}$

$(NH_{4})_{2}SO_{4}$

$NH_{4}NO_{2}$

Option C

The thermal decomposition of given compounds is shown below

(NH₄)₂Cr₂O₇ $\underrightarrow{\triangle}$ N₂+ 4H₂O + Cr₂O₃

NH₄NO₂ $\underrightarrow{\triangle}$ N₂ + 2H₂O

(NH₄)₂SO₄ $\underrightarrow{\triangle}$ 2NH₃ + H₂SO₄

Ba(N₃)₂ $\rightarrow$ Ba + 2N₂

Thus, only (NH4)₂SO₄ does not gives N₂on heating (It gives NH₃). While the rest of the given compounds gives N₂ on their thermal decomposition.
