Radical combination reactions occur when two radicals combine to form a stable molecule. The given radicals are $H_{3} C - {CH}_{2} - \overset{•}{C} H_{2}$ (propyl radical) and $H_{3} C - \overset{•}{C} H_{2}$ (ethyl radical). They can combine in two ways:

1. Propyl + Propyl: $C_{6} H_{14}$ (Hexane)

2. Ethyl + Ethyl: $C_{4} H_{10}$ (Butane)

3. Propyl + Ethyl: $C_{5} H_{12}$ (Pentane)

Therefore, the possible products are hexane, butane, and pentane.
