Thanks for the feedback everyone.

For those of you who counted 13 sigma bonds, you're missing one. The substituent on the ring is not a triple bond to a hydrogen. Instead, it is a triple bond to a CARBON that is SINGLY bonded to a hydrogen.

So there are 6 carbon-carbon bonds in the ring, 5 carbon-hydrogen bonds in the ring, 2 carbon-carbon bounds outside of the ring, and 1 carbon-hydrogen bond outside of the ring...6 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 14.

Hope this clears things up any confusion.

the ORBITALS be called sp TWO orbitals, not sp SQUARED, and sp THREE orbitals not sp CUBED

@SuperGooseDog Actually, both ways are acceptable

Thank you so much, your "hybridization video" and "Sigma and Pi Bonds" video really cleared up a lot things I wasn't to sure about

Keep making these videos because they are extremely helpful!thanks so much!

your videos with sigma pi and sp hybridized videos really helped me a lot. i really appreciate it. thanks

the cam crash scared the shit out of me.

you saved me for my exam! thanks :)

Thanks man. My teacher didn't explain this in detail like you have here. Great explanation! It cleared up lots of things.

Wished my chem teacher could teach like you LOL

thanks for the help! :D

I really appreciate the time you put into the videos. Trying to learn about hybridization was confusing me, but seeing it explained this way made is much clearer.
