Answer:-

# Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory, or VSEPR theory is a model used in chemistry to predict the geometry of individual molecules using the number of electron pair around their central atom.

• Considering H2O (water) , there are two valence electrons of hydrogen and 6 valence electrons for oxygen which together makes the valence electrons 8 for the system.

• Dividing 8 by 2 we get 4 so the hybridisation is sp3

• As Oxygen only creates two bonds with hydrogen the are two lone pair and two bonded pair present

• According to the VSEPR theory the shape of H2O molecule will be bent shape
