Does the angle of a bond have an effect on its energy?

Yes, the angle of a chemical bond can have an effect on its energy. The bond angle contributes to the overall stability and energy of a molecule.

Knowing the bond angles can help identify the structure of the molecule. For example, having three angles of 120 degrees implies that there are three regions of high electron density. So, knowing the bond angles can help understand if repulsion from the presence of lone pairs occurs. The shape with the least amount of repulsion is then more stable.
