What is the scientific measure of disorder is called?

This is called entropy.


What is entrophy?

Entropy is:It is denoted by S.It is a state function and ΔS is independent of path.Entropy is a measure of the degree of randomness or disorder in a system.Greater the disorder of a system, the higher is the entropy. The decrease of regularity in structure means increase in entropy.Crystalline solid is the state of lowest entropy (most ordered) and the gaseous state is a state of highest entropy.As the temperature increases, randomness increases, and thus, entropy increases.For a reversible reaction, entropy change (ΔS)(for a reversible reaction)At equilibrium, ΔS = 0Entropy of a spontaneous reaction increases till it reaches the maximum, and at equilibrium, ΔS = 0Entropy is a state property. Therefore, entropy change for a reversible process is given byFor reversible and irreversible isothermal expansion of an ideal gas (that is under isothermal conditions), ΔU = 0. But is not zero for the irreversible process.Main definition are stated according to http://wiki.answers.com/Q/FAQ/8454.Thermodynamics is the study of energy conversion between heat and mechanical work which leads to the macroscopic properties such as temperature, volume, and...


What diagnosed disorder can be the primary cause of compression fractures?

My presumption is tetanus, or lockjaw. Assuming by disorder you mean disease.
