Disequilibrium vs. Equilibrium — What's the Difference?

Loss or lack of stability or equilibrium.

A condition in which all acting influences are canceled by others, resulting in a stable, balanced, or unchanging system.

The loss of equilibrium or stability, especially due to an imbalance of forces.

Mental or emotional balance.

Loss of equilibrium attributable to an unstable situation in which some forces outweigh others

(Physics) The state of a body or physical system at rest or in unaccelerated motion in which the resultant of all forces acting on it is zero and the sum of all torques about any axis is zero.

The state of a chemical reaction in which its forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates so that the concentration of the reactants and products does not change with time.

The state of a system in which more than one phase exists and exchange between phases occurs at equal rates so that there is no net change in the composition of the system.

The condition of a system in which competing influences are balanced, resulting in no net change.

Mental balance.

(chemistry) The state of a reaction in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are the same.

(physics) The state of a body at rest or in uniform motion in which the resultant of all forces on it is zero.

Equality of weight or force; an equipoise or a state of rest produced by the mutual counteraction of two or more forces.

A level position; a just poise or balance in respect to an object, so that it remains firm; equipoise; as, to preserve the equilibrium of the body.

A balancing of the mind between motives or reasons, with consequent indecision and doubt.

A chemical reaction and its reverse proceed at equal rates

A stable situation in which forces cancel one another

Equality of distribution
