This is a has a trigonal planar molecular shape making the bond angle approximately 120 degrees.

Ethylene has a double bond.

H           H
   \        /
    C=C
   /        \
H           H

I think the bond angles are at 120 degrees.

It's a bit less than the "perfect" answer of 120 degrees due to the double bond. I believe that 117 degrees is the approximate value.
