reversible reaction
Let an agent explain the reversible reaction, relay reversibility, equilibrium and the factors that shift it from chemistry sources, and distinguish a reversible reaction from an irreversible one.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the reversible reaction, relay reversibility, equilibrium and the factors that shift it from chemistry sources, and distinguish a reversible reaction from an irreversible one.
A reversible reaction is a chemical reaction that can proceed in both directions, forwards from reactants to products and backwards from products to reactants, so that reactants and products coexist and can reach a state of dynamic equilibrium; the registry alias names a reversible polymerization technique. Reversibility is shown by a double arrow, and it contrasts with an irreversible reaction that goes essentially to completion. This is a chemistry topic described at a general level.
What it is for: Describing a reaction that runs in both directions.
It can be explain reversibility; relay equilibrium; relay shifting factors; distinguish it from irreversible reactions.
Distinguishing features
Runs both directions
Reactants and products coexist

Shown by a double arrow
What it looks like
Not a visible object; a reaction written with a double arrow between reactants and products.
