Recently, the structure of an amine compound, NR 3 (R = large organic group), has been determined

Question:

Recently, the structure of an amine compound, NR3 (R = large organic group), has been determined to have C–N–C bond angles of 119.2 degrees. It is believed that the bond angles of about 109 degrees expected from the VSEPR model are not observed because of the large substituents bonded to the nitrogen atom. Given this large bond angle, what type of orbital on the nitrogen atom makes the N–C σ bonds, and in what type of orbital is the lone pair located?
