VSEPR theory predicts the shape of molecule based on postulate (assmptions). here are the important postulates as per the NCERT textbooks.
The molecular geometry shape depends upon the number of valence shell electron pairs (bonded and non-bonded) around the central atom.
The electron pairs (bonded and lone pairs) in the valence shell repel each other since their electron clouds are negatively charged.
These electron pairs arrange themselves to minimize repulsion so that the molecule attains a stable structure with minimum energy.
All electron pair repulsion doesn't repel each other equally, Electron pairs follows this order: Lone pai

All electron pair repulsion doesn't repel each other equally, Electron pairs follows this order: Lone pair–Lone pair > Lone pair–Bond pair > Bond pair–Bond pair
VSEPR theory only considers the valence shell electron pairs surrounding the central atom to predict the shape of the molecule.
