Why are a molecule atoms as far away from each other as they can get?
The negative charges of their electrons repel each other.
Are there two natural elements that repel each other?
No. However, the protons within the atoms of the element will repel each other because they have equal positive charge.
What causes charged particles to attact or repel other?
atoms
What makes atoms spread out a central atoms?
the shared valence electron pairs repel each other.
Why do some molecules have a pyramidal shape?
The electrons in the atoms shape the molecule. The 'outermost' electrons in the atoms are the most important because they are shared between atoms in the bonds. Electrons repel each other because they have the same negative electrical charge, so the bonds tend to repel each other too. If you have a central atom bonded to each of three identical other atoms, the three atoms will form an equilateral triangle because each of the three bonds is trying to get as far away as possible from the others (by repulsion). If the central atom has a fourth bond orbital that has electrons in it, even without another atom, those electrons will push the equilateral triangle of bonds away (and a little closer to each other), making the molecule pyramidal. Without the fourth bond orbital's electrons, the molecule should be triangular and flat.

Why is germanium chloride molecule bent even though there are only two atoms surronding the central germanium chloride molecule?
The unbonded electron pairs repel the chloringe atoms.
Why cant the hydrogen of a water molecule stick to a hydrogen of another molecule?
The hydrogen atoms in a water molecule have slight positive charges. Particles with like charges (both positive or both negative) will repel each other.

atoms
What happens when 2 atoms are fairly close?
They repel each other.

the shared valence electron pairs repel each other.

Do electrons repel each other within the same atom?
no
What kinds on atoms do not combine easily?
I'm not sure what you mean by "combine", but if atoms are similarly charged, they will not attract... in fact, they will repel each other.
