1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.

Sorry Sorry...maybe I should clarify the question...yes this picture, the Benzonitrile....

I want to know how many "hybrid" orbitals it has all together...

Are you able to define the hybridization of each atom?

Anybody help? I thought it was 18 but I guess im wrong...Im trying to count all the bonds that there were present but what does it mean to be a hybrid orbital?...

It means they're blending s orbital and p orbital to form one mixed (hybrid) orbital with either one part s to one part p (sp), one part s to two parts p (sp2), or one part s to three parts p (sp3)

Have you learned anything about molecular orbital theory?

It depends on what the question is asking.  Will you reprint the question in its entirety?  And don't forget that lone pairs of electrons need to reside in an orbital, too.
