Question

what is the hybridisation of H2O

Answer 1

To do hybridization of H2O, we look for the central atom in the molecule. The central atom is Oxygen so we do hybridization with respect to oxygen.

Oxygen contains 2 lone pairs of electrons + 2 sigma bonds with Hydrogen atom therefore it occupies 4 orbitals.

When these 4 orbitals are formed they occupy 1 s and 3 p orbitals.

So water shows sp3 hybridization.

Answer 2

Answer: it is sp3 hybridized
