Chemical equilibrium is a dynamic state: forward and reverse reactions continue simultaneously at equal rates, so concentrations stay constant even though molecules keep reacting in both directions.

A reaction is not truly 'stopped' or 'stationary' at equilibrium — rather, the rate of the forward reaction exactly equals the rate of the reverse reaction, so the macroscopic (observable) concentrations of reactants and products remain unchanged over time, even though at the microscopic level reactant molecules are still being continuously converted to products and product molecules are still being continuously converted back to reactants. This is why equilibrium is described as 'dynamic': it is a state of balance sustained by ongoing opp …
