Hi Nitin,

The space is causing the error. We cannot give space between { and ! in a formula attribute. You can change this "{!a.Name } " to "{!a.Name }".
Please find below modified VF Page: 
<apex:pageblock title = "List of accounts">

                <apex:pageblocktable value="{!acts }" var="a">

                    <apex:column value="{!a.Name }" /> 
                    <apex:column value="{!a.Type }" />    
                    <apex:column value="{!a.Industry }" />

                </apex:pageblocktable>

       </apex:pageblock>

</apex:page>

Let me know if tat helps you.

Best Regards,
BALAJI
