Question

The potential energy function for the force between two atoms in a diatomic molecule is approximately given by U(x) = a x^ 12 - b x^6 , where a and b are constants and x is the distance between the atoms. If the dissociation energy of the molecule is D = [U(x = ) - U_ at equilibrium ], D is
