entropy is the measure of randomness of particles higher is randomness higher is the entropy so solids have least entropy due to least randomness.
Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. The phase of matter with the highest entropy is generally considered to be the gas phase, as the particles in a gas have the highest degree of freedom and randomness compared to liquids and solids.
The phase with the lowest entropy is the solid phase. In solids, particles are closely packed in a structured arrangement, limiting their movement and reducing disorder. In contrast, liquids and gases have higher entropy due to greater particle freedom and randomness in their arrangements. Thus, solids exhibit the least amount of entropy among the three phases.
The gas phase. That is true of any substance. Gases, because they are free to move about the entire volume of any container have much more entropy than either liquid or solids (and liquids have more than solids). The more ways the atoms are free to move around, the more entropy they have.
The entropy increases, as going from a solid to a gas increases disorder or randomness in the system. This is because gases have more freedom of movement and energy compared to solids.
Water vapor has the highest entropy because gases generally have higher entropy compared to liquids or solids at the same temperature. Entropy tends to increase with the randomness or disorder of the molecules, so the highly disordered state of water vapor results in higher entropy.
Reactions that increase the moles of gas will increase in entropy.
No.
Pressure changes have no effect on the entropy of substances in the solid or liquid states. Entropy is primarily affected by temperature changes and phase transitions rather than pressure variations in these states.
