Build a Heavy Oil Molecule

Take 96 Carbon atoms, like this:

Add 8 Sulphur atoms that look like this:

Also add 2 Nitrogen atoms:

And 4 Oxygen atoms:

The object is to combine all of the above atoms in such a way that you use as few of these Hydrogen atoms as possible. 

Every bond that is not linked, must accept a Hydrogen atom.  Hints about how to connect the carbons so you use fewer hydrogens are contained in this website.   The fewer hydrogen atoms you use, the heavier your molecule will be.  You will have made "Heavy Oil"
