Why it is impossible for an isolated atom to exist in the hybridized state?

Hybridization refers to the mixing of atomic orbitals in an atom. The number of hybrid orbitals needs to be equal to the number of orbitals that have involved in prior to mixing.

The isolated atoms cannot prevail in a hybridized state as the atom in an isolated state do not form any kind of bond with the other atom, due to which the atomic orbitals do not go through the process of hybridization.
