Explanation:
H2o contains two lone pairs where as NH3 contains only one lone pair. As we all know that lone pairs are responsible for the repulsions with in the molecule that causes to reduce the bond angle. ... Due to one lone pair bond angle decreases to 107.8). So, the bond angle of NH3 is greater than the bond angle of H2o.
