Why Is There No Hybridization in HCl?

[mcfaker]

Help I am really confused! Orbital overlap in Hcl.

Hi,

The orbital overlap in HCl is due to hybridization between one sp³ oribital from Cl and one s orbital from H.

So why does the following picture say that the orbital overlap is between one p orbital from Cl and one s orbital from H??

Thanks in advance!

No. Forget you ever heard this.

why is there no hybridization there? if there isnt, how do I determine if hybridization occurs?

In water hybridization occurs, why not here? how do I determine if hybridization occurs?
please help me I am confused!
