All Particles move using their kinetic energy. Diffusion occurs because of difference in concentrations. The higher the concentration gradient the faster the diffusion rate. When diffusion happens it mixes both concentrations to obtain an equal concentrations meaning equilibrium has been reached. However, particles still move about from one section to the other, so to be more specific we say that dynamic equilibrium has been reached.
