There’s a table defined for each hybridization for molecules geomtery from all the orbitals ofthe atoms participating int the bonding.
And hence from that hybridization U would be able to know the shape of the molecule.
For examle => XeF4 has hybridization sp3d2 and has the shape called square planer.
