Click 2 atoms for bond length, or 3 for bond angle.
O-H bond length 0.9584 Å, H-O-H angle 104.5° — the bent shape comes from two lone pairs on oxygen pushing the bonding pairs closer together than a perfect tetrahedral angle. Oxygen is sp3 hybridized (2 bonding pairs + 2 lone pairs = 4 electron domains).
