Detailed Solution

According to the VBT ,the covalent bond is formed by the overlapping of pure atomic orbitals having unpaired electrons of valency shell of the atoms.

8O : 1s2 2s2 2px2   2py2  2pz1
In H2O,the "O" atom in its valency shell contains 2-unpaired electrons in two p-orbitals, those two p-orbitals are perpendicular to each other [i.e., 90° to each other], those two p-orbitals forms the two covalent bonds with two half filled s-orbitals of  hydrogen atoms with an angle of 90°.
