They're both types of chemical reactions. In a decomposition reaction one compound is broken into two parts. Ex) HCl yields H + Cl
In a synthesis reaction the opposite happens. You begin with two elements or compounds and end with one product. Ex) K + I yields KI These are obviously simplified versions but they convey the point.

Different types of chemical reaction?
I believe there are 6... (I'm a chemistry major) Combustion, synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and acid-base.
Is oxidation synthesis or decomposition?
Synthesis
What is the reverse reaction type of synthesis?
Probable you think to a decompostion reaction.
How are synthesis and decomposition reactions alike?
Synthesis and decomposition reactions are opposites. Synthesis: A + B -> C Decomposition: C -> A + B They both involve three elements or compounds, one of which is a combination of the other two. An example: N2O5 -> NO2 + NO3 Is a decomposition reaction.
What is the opposite of a synthesis reaction?
It would be a catabolic reaction or decomposition reaction.
Are exothermic reactions decomposition reactions or are they synthesis reactions?
Synthesis reactions are generally characterized by being exothermic. Decomposition reactions are usually endothermic.
Is rusting decomposition or synthesis?
Rusting is an oxidation and can be considered as a synthesis of an iron oxide.
Is digestion a synthesis reaction?
Is this reaction an illustration of synthesis or digestion
How are synthesis and decomposition reactions coupled in cells?
The synthesis and decomposition reactions are coupled in cells through the process of metabolism. There are chemical reactions that are used in this entire process.
Synthesis and decomposition reactions in an organism are called .?
All of the decomposition reactions in an organism taken together is called catabolism, while the synthesis reactions are called anabolism.
Is a decomposition reaction almost the same as a synthesis reaction?
no
Is NaCl--Na plus Cl an synthesis?
Decomposition
What are three categories of reactions?
Synthesis, Decomposition, Replacement
