Lone pairs are electron groups which counts towards hybridization. Lone pairs count as one electron group towards total hybridization. Oxygen has two lone pairs. Along with the two bonded atoms, the hydrogen's, the central atom has a total of four electron groups, giving the central atom an sp3 hybridization
