Oxygen in water hybridizes to form sp3 hybridization in order to maximize its bonding capability with the two hydrogen atoms. This hybridization allows oxygen to form four equivalent orbitals, three of which are used to form sigma bonds with the hydrogens, while the fourth holds a lone pair of electrons.
