How does the conjugation of a molecule affect its energy and bond lengths

It lowers the energy of the molecule, and the molecule has alternating single and double bonds.

Additionally, the more double bonds, the stronger the bonds are on the molecule overall. So a tetrahedral with three double bonds will have stronger bonds than an identical tetrahedral with only one double bond.

Could someone explain conjugation in general and when we need it?
