These two molecules CH3S(=O)H and CH3C(=O)H seem to have similar structures. However, the S atom of S=O bond in CH3S(=O)H adopts a pyramidal geometry, while the C atom of C=O bond in CH3C(=O)H adopts a planar geometry. Draw the Lewis structures for CH3S(=O)H and CH3C(=O)H with the appropriate hybridizations, and explain these observations.
