If the potential energy between two molecules is given by U = A/r6 + B/r12, then at equilibrium, separation between molecules, and the potential energy are :

(1) (B/A)1/6, 0

(2) (2B/A)1/6, A2/4B

(3) (2B/A)1/6, A2/2B

(4) (2B/2A)1/6, A2/2B

(2) (2B/A)1/6, A2/4B

Explanation:

U = A/r6 + B/r12

f = - dU/dr

For equilibrium

So r = (2B/A)1/6, A2/4B
