Solution:
$\text{Hint: Find the hybridization of the central atom, then find the geometry of the compound.}$ $\text{Explanation:}$ $\text{The example of compounds are as follows:}$ $\text{Step 1: Linear: In a linear model, atoms are connected in a straight line, and a bond angle is simply the geometric angle between two adjacent bonds. A simple triatomic molecule of the type AX}_2\text{ has its two bonding orbitals 180° apart.}$ $\text{XX'- Linear (e.g. ClF, BrF)}$ $\text{Step 2: T-shaped molecular geometry describes the structures of some molecules where a central atom has three ligands. The three atoms bond at 90° angles on one side of the central atom, producing the T shape.}$ $\text{XX'}_3\text{- T-shape (e.g. ClF}_3\text{, BrF}_3\text{)}$ $\text{Step 3: In geometry, a square pyramid is a pyramid having a square base. If the apex is perpendicularly above the center of the square}$ $\text{XX'}_5\text{- Square pyramidal (e.g. BrF}_5\text{ IF}_5\text{)}$ $\text{Step 4: A pentagonal bipyramid is a molecular geometry with one atom at the centre with seven ligands at the corners of a pentagonal bipyramid.}$ $\text{XX'}_7\text{- Pentagonal bipyramidal (e.g. IF}_7\text{)}$
