In Organic chemistry we are not so careful with the bond angles. Often we state if the angle is close to 109 degrees or close to 120 or 180 degrees. It its sp3 we don’t worry about 107–we just say 109 (that is , “close to” 109).

There are really only 3 shapes. Tetrahedral, trigonal planar, and linear. The “extra” shapes (such as “bent”, “trigonal pyramidal”) just arise from the fact that a lone pair is present instead of a bond to an atom. Don’t memorize every compound/ion. Just learn to count the number of electron pairs and go from there.

Should we memorize every compound/ion and their shapes?

It could be the chloride, I arbitrarily picked fluoride.
