In theory, it should have 180 degrees. OF course, this isn't the case. Why? Beacause the 2 remaining pairs of electrons, beacause of electromagnetic force, push the bound electrons (which have negative charge, and therefore are repelled) a bit to the positively charged side of molecule. This is what causes this.
The angle formed by the hydrogen atom in water is 109.5o because of the lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen that repel the hydrogen atoms.
The angle is 104,45o.

Hydrogen bonding
It only has one electron and one proton!
hydrogen is set apart on the periodic table because it has only 1 energy level and has unique properties.
105
Hydrogen bonds between the Oxygen of one molecule and the hydrogen of another :)
Some unique properties that the compound water has is oxygen, molecular chemicals, and hydrogen.
Hydrogen is the element with unique properties that doesn't fit in any group.
