Question:

The composition of hybrids can be discussed quantitatively. The outcome is that, if two equivalent hybrids composed of an s-orbital and two p-orbitals make an angle θ to each other, then the hybrids can be regarded as spλ, with λ = 2cosθ/cos2(1/2θ). What is the hybridization of the O orbitals that form the two O—H bonds in H2O?
