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

The US state California's  economy has surpassed that of the UK to become the world’s fifth largest, according to new federal data released.

With a GDP of $2.7 trillion, California is now only behind the US, China, Japan and Germany.
