The answer can be explained using the concept of hybridisation.Electronic configuration of O atom is 1s22s22pnow, there are 2 unpaired electrons in p orbital and one is paired. So what happen is that electrons of 2s and 2p combine to hybridize which let the electrons to act as pi electrons. and hence there are two lone pairs found on oxygen atom one on 2s and other on 2p.
