I don't know what you want in the way of an explanation. You count the number of regions of high electron density. For BF4^-, that is 4 and since the groups bond to the central atom arrange themselves so they are as far apart as possible, then tetrahedral is the shape it takes.
yes that is what I wanted can you do this for every one Dr Bob 222 thanks
