SUMMARY
The dynamic nature of chemical equilibrium refers to the continuous process where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, resulting in constant concentrations of reactants and products. This state does not imply that the reactions have stopped; rather, both reactants and products are in constant motion, interconverting without changing their overall concentrations. This concept is fundamental in understanding chemical reactions and their behavior at equilibrium.
