Answer:
I hope it's helpful
Explanation:
Lone pairs are located in orbitals that are more spherical than the orbitals in which bonding electrons reside. So, lone pairs of electrons take up more space than bonding electrons because they are only attracted by one nucleus, which implies that they more spread out at a shorter distance from that nucleus.
