there is repulsion between lone pair and bond pair for example in water molecule oxygen has lone pair which repells the bond pair due to this bond angle decreases simply ddue to repulsion btween lone pair to lone pair or lone pair to bond pair angle varies

Why bond angle of H2S is less than H2O?

The larger the central atom is the less the hydrogens have to spread out (because the electron repulsions are smaller) and the smaller the resulting angle.
