equilibrium

[noun]

A state of balance between opposing forces; a state of balance in which opposing forces cancel one another. A state in which the properties of a system, such as energy, force, heat, or concentrations of matter, remain constant. A chemical equilibrium, for example, is the state in which the rate of the forward reaction is the same as that of the reverse reaction. Though matter is moving within the system, the concentrations of reactants and products do not change.
