The simplest way to find bond angle is by determining the hybridization of the compound. for example sp2 hydridization having one central atom and 3 bonding atoms, bond angle is 120 degrees. then determine if the compound has lone pairs. GENERALLY for a given hybridization, presence of lone pair decreases the bond angle. for example, if the hybridisation is sp3, but has 3 bonding atoms and one lone pair, then the angle is less than 109.5 (for most cases) which is the bond angle for a sp3 compound having no lone pair.
