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.

Can the VSEPR theory be used to predict the shapes of all molecule?
no, not all molecules obey the VSEPR theory, there is an exeption considered for the SIO2 molecules which obeys not the VSEPR theory
