following this logic i would think that a nonconjugated diene would be a
diene with no double bonds. Well if this was the case then it wouldn't be
a diene, would it. so i can't help you there. where did you findthis
wonderfully elusive term?
Multiple bonds can be classified as conjugated, cumulated, or isolated. so
a conjugated multiple bond would be one that alternates -=-=.
hope this helps

Among those I like or admire,
I can find no common denominator.
But, among those I love, I can:
They all make me laugh.
