🔬 Deep Dive: The Reversible Symbol
A + B ⇌ C + D
The ⇌ symbol means the reaction is reversible
- Forward reaction: Reactants (A + B) → Products (C + D)
- Backward reaction: Products (C + D) → Reactants (A + B)
- Both reactions happen at the same time
- Changing conditions can favour one direction or the other
