H2O compound has two lone pairs
It( oxygen atom) goes sp3 hybridization
So it gets 4 equal hybrid orbitals
In that four 2 are already paired
And remaining two forms bond pairs with hydrogen atom
So it has two lone pairs and two bond pairs
Hope this helps you

▶Bond formed by the sharing of electrons between the two or more non metals.
▶The covalent bonds are held by weak Vander Waal's force .
▶They have weak force of attraction among the compounds.
Pair of electrons which remains unshared with any other atom are known as lone pairs of electrons.

Vakency of hydrogen is +1 so it needs to share one electron so it needs one electron to be stable like nearest noble gas helium. Valency of oxygen is -2 so it needs two electrons to be stable like nearest noble gas argon .
During formation of water molecules, two hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom , oxygen shares it two electrons each with hydrogen atoms with two single covalent bonds .while its two lone pairs remains unaffected.
