The bond angle in H2O is:
Correct answer: D. 104.5o
- A. 90o
- B. 109.5o
- C. 180o
- D. 104.5o
Explanation
The bond angle in H2O is 104.5 due to presence of two lone pair of electrons.This fact can be explained by the help of VSEPR.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
