Why does the repulsion between lone pairs are stronger than the repulsion between bonding pairs or between one bonding pair and a lone pair?

Repulsion between lone pairs is stronger because they are closer to the nucleus and repel more strongly than bonding pairs. Lone pairs have less electron-cloud shielding compared to bonding pairs, resulting in increased repulsion. This leads to lone pairs pushing each other apart more forcefully than bonding pairs do.
