उत्तर
Direct combination: “Is a reaction in which two elements or compound combine to give one new compound.”
\[\ce{C + O2->CO2}\]
Decomposition reaction: “A chemical compound (breaks up) decomposes into two or more simpler substances.”
\[\ce{Copper carbonate->Copper oxide + Carbon dioxide}\]
\[\ce{CuCO3->CuO + CO2}\]
