What does crowding mean in equilibrium? For ex-If an inert gas is added at constant pressure,it has some effect as of increasing volume, i-e reaction proceeds towards more crowded side

See when we add inert gases at const. pressure we have to inrease the volume to make the pressure same because inert gases have very large pressure and by increasing volume we intend to decrease the pressure...but by this the molarity of reactants and products gets changed and they tries to stabalise themselves by filling the volume that we have created...thereby reaction need more molecules to fill up the volume hence reaction goes to the side which have more molecules...

crowded means it will go in the direction of increase in moles
