Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been used as an anti-inflammatory rub for racehorses. DMSO and acetone appear to have similar structures, but the C“O carbon atom in acetone is planar, while the S“O sulfur atom in DMSO ispyramidal. Draw Lewis structures for DMSO and acetone, predict the hybridizations and explain these observations.

Benzene is commonly regarded as a resonance hybrid ofthe two Kekule structures. but other possible structures canalso contribute. Draw three other structures in which thereare only covalent n bonds (al lowing for bonding betweensome non-adjacent C atoms) and two structures in whichthere is one ionic bond. Why may these structures be ignoredin simple descriptions of the molecule?
