Hi there,
♤In Water molecule oxygen atom has hybridization type SP3 , so the expected bond angel is 109.28° but
♤The bond angle in water is 104.28° because oxygen atom have two lone pairs of electrons which repulsive force increases and push the bonds to decrease the angle to 104.28° ●according to the vsepr theory
