May 18 at 9:40 comment added Vincent Thacker I don't think this is an exact duplicate of the linked question. This question is about water but the linked question is about hydrogen.

May 18 at 7:54 comment added gandalf61 @Ujjwal If you didn't include flexing of the bond angle in your original count then I think that gives you the extra 2 DOFs. In the terminology you have added to the question, I think these DOFs would be "scissoring" and "twisting".
May 18 at 3:38 comment added Ujjwal @ john Rennie - can you share some resources regarding this topic as I was not able to completely understand it
May 18 at 3:36 comment added Ujjwal @gandalf61 -I am considering all situations that can happen.

May 17 at 10:55 comment added John Rennie Does this answer your question? Why does $H_2$ have $C_V$=$7/2 R$ at high temperatures, while the total number of degrees of freedom is 6?
May 17 at 10:46 comment added gandalf61 Are you treating the bond angle as fixed ? Or do you need to include DOFs where the bond angle flexes ?
