Out of H2O and H2S, which one has a higher bond angle and why?

H2O has a higher bond angle than H2S because as we move from oxygen to sulfur the size of the central atom increases and electronegativity decreases due to which bond moving from the central atom leads to a decrease in bond pair repulsion and therefore the angle is reduced.
