Explanation / Answer

a) Accoerding to VSEPR theory, the molecular geometry of water, H2O is bent and has a bond angle of 104o.28' degree.

On the other hand, the molecular geometry of H3O+ is trigonal pyrimidal and has a bond angle of 107o.3' degree.

b) Hybridization change from H2O--->H3O+ is summarized in below table.

Hybridization H2O

Hybridization H2O
