The potential energy function for the force between two atoms in a diatomic molecule is approximately given by U(x)=\frac{a}{x^{12}}-\frac{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=\infty)-U_{\text{at equilibrium }}] , D is [AIEEE 2010]
