Solution Summary

The solution describes the bond and angle in terms of its structure.

Solution Preview

This is the structure of the molecule, written a slightly different way:

O
||
CH2=CH-CH=CH-C-H
5 4 3 2 1

What you can see here is that the molecule is not a ring structure at all. It's made up of a linear chain of five carbons. There are two double bonds in this chain, as well as a C=O ...
