Dynamic Equilibrium

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Dynamic equilibrium is the state a diffusing substance reaches once its gradient disappears, molecules still moving but with no net movement in any direction.

Show

In a school chemistry lab, dye stirred into water spreads until color is uniform, though dye molecules keep drifting throughout the liquid.

Watch for

Equilibrium here is dynamic, not static — molecular motion never stops, only the net direction does.
