VSEPR - valence shell electron pair repulsion theory
Hybridisation- e.g. Sp, Sp2, sp3, Sp3d2 etc
Hybridisation predicts regular geometries-- VSEPR has the advantage of predicting how bond angles may deviate from the regular geometries.

VSEPR theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) and hybridization theory can be used to predict molecular geometry. VSEPR theory suggests that electron pairs around a central atom repel each other, leading to a specific arrangement of atoms. Hybridization theory explains how atomic orbitals combine to form hybrid orbitals, which determine the shape of molecules.
It would be sp3d hybridised.
GeF4 is the chemical formula for Germanium tetrafluoride, a colorless, volatile compound used in semiconductor production and as a reagent in organic synthesis. It is a gas at room temperature and pressure, and has a tetrahedral molecular geometry.
VeSPER theory, which stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory, is a model used to predict the molecular geometry of molecules based on the repulsion of electron pairs in the valence shell of an atom. It helps to determine the shape of a molecule by considering the arrangement of bonding and nonbonding electron pairs around the central atom. It is a useful tool in understanding the properties and behavior of molecules in chemistry.
The VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) model explains molecular geometry based on the repulsion between electron pairs in the valence shell of an atom. It is mainly used because it is simple, intuitive, and provides a good approximation of molecular shapes based on the number of bonding and nonbonding electron pairs around a central atom.
