In terms of struture, lone pairs contribute helping a molecule acquire a shape as dictated by VSEPR Theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory).

Regarding chemical properties lone pair/s of electrons can make a molecule act as a Lewis base (like ammonia) in the reaction mixtures the extent of which depends on various other features in the structure of molecule.
