CaCO3 (s) ⇨ CaO (s) + CO2 (g) Decomposition reaction

H2 (g) + Cl2 ⇨ 2HCl (g) Combination reaction

In decomposition reactions, a substance breaks up into its constituent elements or compounds but in combination reaction, two or more substance react to form a single substance. Hence decomposition reactions are opposite of combination reaction.
