The water molecule is of sp3 type... in water molecule central oxygen atom undergoes sp3 hybridisation if you look to electronic configuration of oxygen one 2px²,2py¹,2pz¹ in which 2 electron are required to complete its octate to stable...so the hydrogens electronic configuration 1s¹ it has efficient of 1 electron to complete it orbit to stable...hydrogen his electron and by sharing electrons of hydrogen and oxygen it form covalent bond.in there bonding one s orbit,and three p orbit involved so will be called as sp3 hybridised molecule in water...
