According to VSEPR theory
as H2O has two lone pairs so It repels the bond pairs much more and makes bond angle shorter of 104.5 degrees and as NH3 has one lone pair that repels the three bond pair but not much effectively and strongly as two lone pairs of water repel the bond pair so the bond angle between hydrogen atom of ammonia is 107.5 greater than that of water.
Similarly an other molecule have sp3 hybridization that is methane CH4 molecule have no lone pair and each bond pair repels each other with equal force and bond angle between two adjacent hydrogen atoms becomes 109.5 degrees.

The water molecules have a bent structure. The oxygen has 6 valence electrons and thus needs 2 more electrons from 2 hydrogen atoms to complete its octet. Bond angle is 104.5°
