It is a measure of degree of disorderness & randomness.
Explanation:
Entropy is defined as the measure of degree of disorderness & randomness. It is denoted by S .
More will be the disorder more will be the entropy.
It is a state function ,
Decrease in regularity of structure would mean inc. in entropy.
Heat added to a system at low temp. causes greater randomness than heat added to a system at high temperature.
In equilibrium entropy is zero .
For a given substance, the crystalline solid state is the state of lowest entropy. The gaseous state is a state of highest entropy.
