Step-by-step explanation:

When in a chemical reaction either two or more number of elements or compounds combine together to result in the formation of a single compound then they are known as combination reactions.

For example,
2Na(s) + Cl_(2)(g) \rightrarrow 2NaCl(s)

On the other hand, when in a chemical reaction a single compound is able to produce two or more number of products then its is known as a decomposition reaction.

For example,
CuCl_(2) \rightarrow Cu + Cl_(2)
