Answer:
Explanation:
The water decreases to 109°29'
Because
The electronic configuration of Oxygen is O= 1s2 2s2 2p4
It has 2 unpair electrons and 2 lone pair electrons
So
Lone pair - lone pair electrons occupies more space than bond pair - bond pair electrons
So
Oxygen bond's with hydrogen and instead of linear it transforms into the v shape structure molecule and gets 109°29' bond angle
