• C. Chemical equilibrium is attained in closed systems
• D. Chemical equilibrium is dynamic at the molecular level

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C), (D)

Chemical equilibrium is dynamic at the molecular level

Characteristics of equilibrium:

$\bullet$ At equilibrium both the reactants and the products coexist.

$\bullet$ The rates of forward and backward reactions become equal at equilibrium.

$\bullet$ Chemical equilibrium is attained in closed systems.

​​​​​​​$\bullet$ Chemical equilibrium is dynamic at the molecular level.
