A microscopic perspective, in statistical thermodynamics the entropy is a measure of the number of microscopic configurations that are capable of yielding the observed macroscopic description of the thermodynamic system:
S=KBln Ω
where Ω is the number of microscopic configurations, and KB is Boltzmann's constant. It can be shown that this definition of entropy, sometimes referred to as Boltzmann's postulate, reproduces all of the properties of the entropy of classical thermodynamics(shahbaz)

What is true about entropy?
Entropy is not change. Entropy is disorder.
Why is entropy irreversible?
It's not that entropy can't be reversed, it's that the entropy of the universe is always increasing. That means that while you can reduce the entropy of something, the entropy of another thing must go up even more so that in total, the entropy goes up.
What does the second law of thermodynamic say about entropy?
The entropy of the universe is increasing
Does entropy depend on its path?
No, entropy is a state function.
Does a combustion have a negative entropy or positive entropy?
positive
What has the author P A H Wyatt written?
P. A. H. Wyatt has written: 'The molecular basis of entropy and chemical equilibrium' -- subject(s): Chemical equilibrium, Entropy, Statistical thermodynamics
What is the scientific measure of disorder is called?
This is called entropy.
What is true about entropy?
Entropy is not change. Entropy is disorder.
What happens when to the entropy when a solution is made?
The entropy increases.
What is the measure of disorder and randomness?
Entropy is the measure of system randomness.
What is the kinetic model of matter?
it is a microscopic vision of something == == The kinetic model of matter is the basis for understanding diffusion and Brownian motion.
Which term describes the describes the disorder of random molecular motion?
entropy
