`CH_4`, `NH_3`, `H_2O` molecules are having `sp^3` hybridization. But the bond angle in them are `109^@28`, `107^@48`, `104.5^@` respectively.

Explain sp^3 hybridization taking methane ( CH_4 ) as an example

Although geometries of NH_3 and H_2O molecules are distorted tetrahedral,bond angle in water is less than that of ammonia.Discuss.
