how to adjust this space around my table?

i have this table with text in a div, i have it in a div that puts a border around it and holds the title above it. there is some space around the table for some reason though, i didn't put any padding or margins to add it. how can i adjust it to make it smaller?

heres the code

      <div style="color:#d5cdfd; margin-right:2vw; margin-left:auto; max-width: 29vw; height:377px; border: 10px solid #d5cdfd; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0; 
      border-radius: 10px; margin-top:2vw">
        <div style="height:80px; color:#d5cdfd; align-items: center; font-size:32px; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; 
        margin-right:2vw; margin-left:2vw">Extra Notes</div>
        <div style="height:277px; overflow-y:auto; overflow-x:hidden; overflow-wrap:anywhere; color:#d5cdfd; padding-right:1vw; padding-top:1vw; 
        border-top: 10px solid #d5cdfd;">
          <ul>
            <li style="margin-bottom:10px">Can absorb electricity from most sources, storing it within his head.</li>
            <li style="margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:10px">establishmentarism</li>
            <li style="margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:10px">The blood in his head is very acidic, while the blood in the rest of his body isn't quite as acidic.</li>
            <li style="margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:10px">His gills serve as his main weak spot, as striking them will make it hard for him to get air, especially underwater.</li>
            <li style="margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:10px">Moves on land by slithering, similar to that of a snake.</li>
          </ul>
       </div>
      </div>

if you're wondering why all of my css is inline, the website i'm making this for doesn't allow non-inline css

The ul element comes with a padding-left by default. If you want to change it you need to apply rules to override that:

<ul style="padding-left:0;">

<ul style="padding-left:0;">

For further research https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Styling_text/Styling_lists -# hint: many HTML elements come with default stylings – can be more than one rule

Lists are relatively easy to get the hang of styling once you know a few associated basic principles and specific properties. In the next article, we'll move on to link styling techniques.
