Two new elements have been discovered, serpentine (Ss) and draconine (Dr). Serpentine has been shown to contain 4 valence electrons while
draconine has been shown to display 6 valence electrons. Additionally, it has also been shown that serpentine is more electronegative than
draconine and that together they form the molecule SsDr₂. Based on this information, determine whether SsDr₂ is polar or non-polar. Justify
your response using your understanding of structure and debye force. You may submit a drawing if it helps you, but it is not required.
