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.
