The hybridization scheme for H2O (water) is drawn out along with the hybrid orbitals. read more
The oxygen atom in the H2O molecule is sp3 hybridized. This is because when oxygen is bonded with two molecules, like it is in water, the three 2p orbitals and the 2s orbital combine to create four sp3 hybrid orbitals. read more
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons so it has 2 p orbitals that contain only one orbital. read more
