The potential energy U of two atoms, a distance r apart, is U= -A/r^m + B/r^n.

Show that the condition n > m must be satisfied in the equation for the potential energy U in the above question for the molecule to have a stable position.

m < n means that the repulsive force is of shorter range than that of attractive force.
