Explanation:
The oxygen in HO² (water) has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs (again 4 total pairs). The electron pair orientation around O is tetrahedral. Two corners of the tetrahedron are missing because they are occupied by lone pairs and not atoms. The shape is called bent. The H−O−H bond angle is 104.4
This angle is less than that in NH3 due to the greater repulsions felt with two lone pairs of electrons.
i hope its helpfull ....
