Solution

Dear Student
Out of water and hydrogen sulphide water has higher bond angle.
In water the hybridisation is sp3. There are also two lone pairs on oxygen .Hence the bond angle is around 104.5 degrees.On the other hand in hydogen sulphide no hybridisation occurs because of Drago's rule. Thus the angle is arounf 92 degrees.
