Due to the Lone Pair-Lone Pair>Bond Pair-Bond Pair> Bond Pair-BondPairrepulsions, molecule tries to orient itself in space in such a way that it suffers least repulsion.Hence, bond angle increases.

repulsion mate. Between electrons. lone p - lone p or bond p - bond p.

The real cause of Greater bond angle is that the repulsion between the lone pair of electrons or between thebond pair of electrons.

When  in a compound Carbon is sp3 hybridised then there is formation of 4 single covalent bonds which are sigma bonds, the 4 H atoms arrange tetrahedrally so as to minimise the force of repulsion between them  so the angle is 109.50 But  in a compound Carbon is sp2 hybridised then the bond angle increases to 120o  because of repulsion between the bond pair electrons.But  in a compound Carbon is sp hybridised then the bond angle increases to180 so as to minimise the force of repulsion 


got 111 marks in JEE 2010
hoping for AIR 111 in JEE 2011........
