In chapter 12 conjugated bonds are described as alternating single and
double bonds (creating polyenes). In chapter 13 where conjugated
bonds are discussed, the text refers to B-carotene which has a long string
of polyenes (>8) which causes absorption of light in the visible range.
Hope this is useful,
