Answer:
Explanation:
Lone paits are localized on an atom and hence there is crowding of lone pair electrons over the atom
Whereas the bond pars are shared between two atoms and hence their crowding os less,
Therefore lone paots which are more crowded and close to each other exert great force of repulsion on each other because of the similar negative charges and hence lone pair lone pair repulsion are much greater than the lone pair bond pair repulsion.
