If I tell you it is 107.4 degrees, you will ask me why, so I wont tell you.
Hmmm. The "ideal" bond angle is 109.5 The "real" bond angle is what I gave you.
I believe the electronic geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal and not trigonal bipyramidal. I don't know of any way to predict the exact bond angles; usually it's the other way around. That is usually we know the angle from measurements and we look for reasons to support that measurement.
