Equilibrium
The condition achieved when molecules are evenly spread in an area is called equilibrium. At equilibrium, the concentration of molecules is uniform throughout the area, with no net movement of molecules in any particular direction. This state is also known as dynamic equilibrium, where molecules continue to move but the overall distribution remains constant.
Diffusion
When molecules are evenly distributed through a liquid it is called a homogeneous mixture, or solution. This means that the substances are uniformly spread throughout the liquid and there is no visible distinction between the different components.
The process is called Diffusion. This is why when you spray air freshener in a room it will eventually fill it.
In a homogeneous mixture particles are spread evenly.

Difusion in air. Osmosis in water.
Diffusion
When molecules of one substance are spread evenly throughout another substance, it is called a solution. The process of mixing the two substances together is known as dissolution. The resulting solution will have the same composition and properties throughout.
Diffusion
When diffusion has occurred and molecules are spread out evenly in all directions, the concentration of molecules is the same throughout the system. This state is called equilibrium, where there is no net movement of molecules between regions. At equilibrium, the distribution of molecules is uniform, and there is no overall change in concentration over time.
Dye molecules spread in water through a process called diffusion, where they move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration until they are evenly distributed.
When molecules engage in diffusion, they move from being in a condensed collection to more spread out. If they are completely evenly spread out, this is called equilibrium.
The beaker with the molecules evenly spread out throughout the solution represents the correct expected location of molecules after one hour because they will have diffused or spread out due to random motion.
Diffusion and osmosis ( movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration until evenly spread.)
When molecules are evenly distributed through a liquid it is called a homogeneous mixture, or solution. This means that the substances are uniformly spread throughout the liquid and there is no visible distinction between the different components.
This is known as diffusion, where molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until they are evenly distributed. This process occurs naturally due to random kinetic movements of the molecules.
