Hello.
The formula for hybridization is:-
H=(V+M-C+A)/2
where v= valence electrons of central atom, m is the number of MONOVALENT atoms C is cationic charge and A is anionic charge.
By this formula, for H2O, H=(6+2)/2=4.
6 valence electrons in o2 and 2 MONOVALENT H atoms.
H comes out to be sp3.
Hence it depends not on the number of valence electrons left in an ionic compound.
I would highly recommend using this formula for all your hybridization problems.
