[edit] Which image?

I don't know much about the chemistry of this but so I don't what to just change the image, but which image should be use?

Note this is not about image type but that the vector image (the SVG) does not have the branches with sulfur, hydrogen, and three oxygens. I just don't know if it should not be used for this reason. Scaper8 14:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it does. The sulfonic acid groups are expanded in the SVG, as they should be for clarity, while on the PNG they are depicted as shorthand. I'd use the SVG, as it provides a more accurate depiction of the molecule. Fvasconcellos 15:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

My mistake, it was not the sulfur group but the one with carbon (I was looking at the wrong thing when first typeing this, sorry). I will however, change the image for the time being to the SVG image. Scaper8 18:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, the methyl groups are shown as well—they're just implicit (i.e. not labeled "CH₃"), as is customary on skeletal formulae. Fvasconcellos 19:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
