It just means that those lone pairs can pair up with any other molecules according to the electronegativity, for example water......... H-O-H has two lone pairs on the O in order to satisfy the octet rule, each bond has two electrons as we can see H-O has to and O-H has another two + the two lone pairs (4) = 8
