The potential energy $(U)$ of a diatomic molecule is a function dependent on $r$ (interatomic distance) as $U = \frac{\alpha}{r^{10}} - \frac{\beta}{r^5} - 3$,where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive constants. The equilibrium distance between two atoms will be $\left(\frac{2\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{a}{b}}$,where $a = \dots \dots \dots \dots$
