Entropy increases when ever energy is used up. Energy cannot be destroyed, but it is always lost in the form of unusable energy. Entropy is the % of unusable energy compared to usable energy in a given system.

entropy is a measure of disorder

entropy increases for example from solid --> liquid

or liquid --> gas

or solid --> gas

or liquid --> aqueous

when the particles become more "free" and there are more spaces between them

that means that the entropy has increased
