What is the difference between the arrangement of electron pairs and the shape of the molecules?
The shape of a molecule only describes the arrangement of bonds around a central atom. The arrangement of electron pairs describes how both the bonding and nonbonding electron pair are arranged. For example, in its molecular shape, a water molecule is describes as bent, with two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. However, the arrangement of electron pairs around the oxygen atom is tetrahedral as there are two bonding pairs (shared with the hydrogen) and also two nonbonding pairs.
What is the spatial arrangement of lone pairs and bonded pairs around the central atom?

What is the role of unshared electron pairs in predicting molecular geometries?
Lone electron pairs give the geometry a triangular base.

What is the electron shell arrangement of caesium?

What is VSEPR theory used for?
Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory, otherwise known as VSEPR theory, is used to predict the geometry of molecules. This is based on the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms. This is based on the idea that valence electron pairs surrounding and Adam generally repel each other, so their arrangement is based on the minimizing of said repulsion.
