What is the hybridization of S atom in H2S? I am confused because some says the hybridization of S atom is sp3 while other says it has no hybridization. What is the truth then ? Please explain.

The bond is formed by sulfur WITH HYDROGEN in H2S BY overlapping of sand p orbital and not by hybrid orbital. Drago's rule: When 3rd period and onward elements attached to hydrogen.the central element can show hybridization. Example-in H2S, H2Se , H2Te ,PH3, AsH3, SbH3 etc nohybridization take place
