Re: Water
Generally, when you take into account the electronegativity mentioned above, normally, in compounds like Boron Trichloride and Ammonia, Water etc, you would take 2.5 ( or 2.75, normally 2.5) degrees approximately for each lone pair that exists, so whereas the normal bond angle is 109 Degrees, the two lone pairs ( 4 electrons not involved in bonding ) make this 104 degrees approx. This gives a distorted tetrahedral or Pyramidal Shape to the molecule.
