how does h2o become sp3 hybridisation?

H2O has 2(1) + 6 = 8 valence electrons. H2O has a tetrahedral arrangement of the electron pairs about the O atom that requires sp3 hybridization. Two of the four sp3 hybrid orbitals are used to form bonds to the two hydrogen atoms, and the other two sp3 hybrid orbitals hold the two lone pairs on oxygen.
