According VSEPR theory, in the electronic geometry of the molecule(s), electron pair tend to minimise repulsion and follow the repulsion order in presence of lone pair of electrons with bond pair of electrons. lp-lpgt lp-bp gtbp-bp
and similarly double bond pair of electrons follow the repulsion order with angle bond pair of electrons. double bond -double bond gt double bond -single bond gtsingle bond -single bond
