The potential energy of a diatomic molecule is given by U = A/r 12 - B/r 6' where r is the distance between the atoms that make up the molecule and A,B are positive constants. Find the equilibrium separation betweeen atoms

It stated a hypothetical relation between distance between the atoms r and potential energy and it asks at what distance the atoms will be in equilibrium at equilibrium potential energy of the atoms is minimum i.e zero
