Write the bond angle and type of hybridization of the water molecule.
(N/A) In a water molecule $(H_2O)$,the oxygen atom is $sp^3$ hybridized.
Due to the presence of two lone pairs on the oxygen atom,the bond angle is compressed from the ideal tetrahedral angle of $109.5^{\circ}$ to $104.5^{\circ}$.
