CH3-CHO, or ethanol, is made up of the tetrahedral CH3- and trigonal planar -CHO. Because it is a molecule made up of different parts with independent geometries, it doesn't have its own definitive geometry. To make a geometry for every such molecule would be a very complex process.

What theory provides information concerning both molecular shape and molecular bonding?

The VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory provides information about both molecular shape and molecular bonding. It helps predict the geometric shapes of molecules based on the arrangement of electron pairs around the central atom and takes into account the repulsion between electron pairs to determine the overall molecular shape.
