Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been used as an anti-inflammatory rub for race horses. DMSO and acetone appear to have similar structures, but thecarbon atom in acetone is planar, while thesulfur atom in DMSO is pyramidal. Draw Lewis structures for DMSO and acetone, predict the hybridization, and explain these observations.

(a) Nitrogen has relatively stable isotopes (half-life greater than 1 second) of mass numbers 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17. (All exceptandare radioactive.) Calculate how many protons and neutrons are in each of these isotopes of nitrogen.
(b) Write the electronic configurations of the third-row elements shown in the partial periodic table in Figure 1-6.
Question: In most amines, the nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized, with a pyramidal structure and bond angles close to 109o.In urea, both nitrogen atoms are found to be planer, with bond angles close to 120o. Explain this surprising finding. (Hint: consider resonance forms and the overlap needed in them.)

Give Lewis structures corresponding to the following line-angle structures. Give the molecular formula for each structure.
Allene,CH2=C=CH2 , has the structure shown below. Explain how the bonding in allene requires the two groups at its ends to be at right angles to each other.
