Composite primary key as foreign key not working

Question

i want have two tables
in one table i make a composite primary key
and in the other table i refer one of the column of the composite key from the above table as foreign key in this table but this didn't work.
eg:
create table temp1
( name char2(10),
ssn# number(10)
address varchar2(10)
constraint (cons_1)primary key(name,ssn#) );
create table temp2
( name1 char2(10) references temp1(name),
add varchar(20));
this didn't work....can't create temp2 table it's giving error

The following includes some corrections and some suggestions. Your original code had several problems: missing comma, invalid name, invalid data type, no unique key for the foreign key to reference. The following fixes all of those and adds some meaningful names for the constraints and formats it so that it is easier to read.
CREATE TABLE temp1
  (name       VARCHAR2 (10),
   ssn#       NUMBER   (10),
   address    VARCHAR2 (10),
   CONSTRAINT temp1_name_ssn#_pk
              PRIMARY KEY (name, ssn#),
   CONSTRAINT temp1_name_uk
              UNIQUE (name))
Table created.
CREATE TABLE temp2
  (name1      VARCHAR2 (10),
   address    VARCHAR2 (20),
   CONSTRAINT temp2_name1_fk
              FOREIGN KEY (name1)
              REFERENCES temp1 (name))
Table created.
