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).

( int t ; t = a, a = b, b = t ;);

This code won't compile since declaration of t cannot occur within parentheses.
