    Hi,

    The actual bond angle for H 2 O is 104.5 while the angle for OCl 2 is 103.1.

    Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen. This causes the bonding pair electrons to move towards O, which results in electron repulsion and a larger bond angle.

    I hope it helps you.

    Happy learning!!!
