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
