Chemistry - What is the bond angle of water?

Solution 1:

In your comment, you say you are interested in "liquid water".

The values in your self-answer are for gas phase water, and the second source is citing the first source, so it is really just one source. The value is determined from gas phase rotation spectroscopy.

For liquid water, the value is not as precisely known:

105.5° (calculated) and 106° (experimental) as reported in Structural, electronic, and bonding properties of liquid water from first principles J. Chem. Phys. 111, 3572.

Solution 2:

While researching the above, I found some reliable sources that suggest the bond angle is 104.48º.

• Source 1
• Source 2

EDIT:

As DavePhD says, these values are for water in the gas phase. For liquid water, the bond angle is around 105.5-106º.
