We are not getting what is the question. what are hybrids in chemistry? 
If you want to know about hybridisation it is as follows: 
 
Sulfur has 6 valence electrons and so does oxygen, so in SO2, we're dealing with 18valence electrons total. First, draw single bonds between the S and each O, then fill out an octet for each O. This uses 16 electrons. The other two should be placed as a lone pair on the S. Finally, move a lone pair on one of the O's so that it forms a second bond with the S. This completes an octet for all atoms. Now count electrons groups around the S: there's a double bond, a single bond, and a lone pair.... that makes 3. So the S in SO2 is sp2 hybridized.
