1 The H—O—H bond angle in H2O is smaller than the H—N—H bond angle in NH3.  
2 The H—C—H bond angle in CH4 is larger than the H—N—H bond angle in NH3.  
3 The H—C—H bond angle in CH4, the H—N—H bond angle in NH3 and the H—O—H bond angle in H2O are all greater than 90°.  
4 The H—O—H bond angle in H2O is larger than the H—C—H bond angle in CH4.
