Question

The potential energy between two atoms in a molecule is given by U(x)=ax12−bx6; where a and b are positive constants and x is the distance between the atoms. The atom is in stable equilibrium when

A) x=11a5b6
B) x=a2b6
C) x=0
D) x=2ab6

Answer 1

Explanation:

option c is correct answer cuz its mentioned that atoms are in PE. so definitely initial pt. is 0
