The potential energy between two atoms in a molecule is given by \(U\left ( x \right )=\frac{a}{x^{12}}-\frac{b}{x^{6}};\) where \(a\) and \(b\) are positive constants and \(x\) is the distance between the atoms. The atoms are in stable equilibrium when:
1. \(x=\sqrt[6]{\frac{11a}{5b}}\)
2. \(x=\sqrt[6]{\frac{a}{2b}}\)
3. \(x=0\)
4. \(x=\sqrt[6]{\frac{2a}{b}}\)
