### Drawing complex geometry

Here's a solution, using tkz-euclide, since you have several intersections and angles to take in account. This is fairly achievable with plain TikZ but here you can see the construction step by step ...

### How to get \lewis or \Lewis (in chemfig) to have custom angles and not just 0-7?

Chemfig documentation has an example, in French, about making a customized lewis macro accepting an arbitrary angle in degrees. I am reproducing it irresponsibly translated to English. (I am a native ...

### How can I put the angle more right than I put here? And how can I make a subtitle also?

The initial point of the angle needs to be located along the line, so using polar coordinates (20:0.7) is the easiest way to specify that: To add a caption you can use the caption package. ...
