Which bond angle in ch2f2 is greater?

In CH2F2, the bond angle between the carbon-hydrogen bonds will be greater than the bond angle between the carbon-fluorine bonds. This is because hydrogen atoms have a smaller size compared to fluorine atoms, causing repulsion between the larger fluorine atoms to decrease the carbon-hydrogen bond angle.
