What bond angles to know for VSEPR?

After we determine the 3D shape of a molecule, which shapes do we need to know the bond angles for?

I would say there's no harm in memorizing all of them, but definitely make sure to memorize the primary geometries like linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral. Hope that helps!
