According to the problem we have 2 carbon, 1 sulfur, 1 oxygen and 6 hydrogen.

Carbon are the black dots. Sulfur is the yelow one. Oxygen the red one and H the white dots.

We shall write the chemical formula of this compound. If we take a look at the image we will see that the core of this compound is the S atom that is "linked" to two carbon atoms. Also that S is bonded to one O atom. We can represent that like this

O

|

C --- S ---- C

Then each C is bonded to three H atoms.

H O H

| || |

H ----C --- S ---- C ----H

| |

H H

The Chemical formula can be written like this:

CH₃ - SO - CH₃

Also:

(CH₃)₂SO
