Name the comet that came close to earth in 1986?
The name of the comet seen in 1986 is Halley's Comet. You can see it every 75-76 years, and is the only short period comet that is clearly visible to the naked eye from earth, and thus the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime.

What is a chunk of rock or dust in space that usually comes from a comet or an asteroid is?
"Meteoroid". If it actually hits the Earth's atmosphere, the streak of light will be a "meteor", and if the object survives to impact the Earth's surface then we call the remains a "meteorite".
What is the the difference between a comet and a asteroid?
Asteroid: A relatively small, inactive body, composed of rock, carbon or metal, which is orbiting the Sun. Comet: A relatively small, sometimes active object, which is composed of dirt and ices. Comets are characterized by dust and gas tails when in proximity to the Sun. Far from the Sun it is difficult to distinguish an asteroid from a comet. Meteoroid: A small particle from an asteroid or comet orbiting the Sun. Meteor: A meteoroid that is observed as it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere - a shooting star. Meteorite: A meteoroid that survives its passage through the Earth's atmosphere and impacts the Earth's surface.
