A cumulene is a hydrocarbon with three or more cumulative double bonds. They are analogous to allenes, only having a more extensive chain. The simplest molecule in this class is butatriene, which is also called simply cumulene.

The carbons on the ends are sp² hybridized, with a p-orbital for the 'second' bond in the double bond with their neighboring carbons.

They have those sp² orbitals overlapping with the s from the hydrogen, and they have a p overlapping in the pi bond with the neighboring carbon. They also have a sigma bond with the neighboring carbon I'll get to.

The middle carbons each have two pi bonds with their neighbors, leaving sp hybridiaztion for the rest. So they have sp/sp² with the end carbons, and sp/sp with each other. (And they also have p/p in the pi bonds).

All orbital overlappings in Cumuene are :

* s/sp²

* p/p

* sp/sp²

* sp/sp

A substance that cannot be decomposed (broken down) into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means.

Examples: gold, iron, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen.

Material composed of only one kind of matter throughout (same atoms or same molecules).

Covalent bonds hold atoms together because the attraction between the positively charged nuclei and the negatively charged shared electrons is greater than the repulsions between the nuclei themselves.

All the given reactions are Decomposition reactions.

Decomposition reaction is a reaction in which only one reactant is splitted into two or more products.

A mixture is made from different substances that are not chemically joined.Compound:

•Two or more elements combine together chemically to form a new substance called compound.

•The different elements are chemically joined together.•Compounds are homogeneous, i.e. their properties are the same throughout

•The compound has properties different from the elements it contains.

•It can only be separated into its elements using chemical reactions. (not using physical methods)

•During the formation of a compound from its elements, a certain amount of energy in the form of heat, light, electricity is either absorbed or evolved
