Detailed Solution
The molecule in which if the central atom undergoes sp3 hybridisation, they the bond angle between adjacent covalent bonds should be 109°28' [Regular BA] & the geometry of the molecule should be tetrahedral. [Regular geometry].The above said statement is only applicable to the molecules without L.P's but if the molecule posses L.P along with BP's, then the geometry is said to irregular geometry (Distorted geometry) & the bond angle (B.A) is said to be irregular B.A.In care of H2O 2-L.P's are present instead of 2-B.P's. L.P's occupies more space than B.P's and hence L.P's on the central atom causes strong repulsion on the O-H bond pair electrons and hence the two O-H bonds moves closer to each other, therefore bond angle decreases from 109°28' to 104°31'.
