The concept of entropy was developed in the 1850s by German physicist Rudolf Clausius who described it as the transformation-content, i.e. dissipative energy use, of a thermodynamic system or working body of chemical species during a change of s

As science evolved, the desire for machines with perfect efficiency grew, and the difficulty of that became better understood. The term entropy was coined in 1865 by Rudolf Clausius.

In simple words, it is a measurement of activity of constituent particles in a certain state of matter.
This is the reason that entropy for a substance in its gaseous state is maximum and minimum for solid state.
It is so because particles have the highest degree of freedom in gaseous state and lowest in solid state.

Who developed the concept of atomic number?
Henry Moseley
What happens when to the entropy when a solution is made?
The entropy increases.
Who developed the concept of mental age?
The concept of mental age was developed by French psychologist, Alfred Binet. He created the first practical intelligence test called the Binet-Simon scale.
Which term describes the describes the disorder of random molecular motion?
entropy
Is it possible for entropy to be negative and For entropy change to be negative and For entropy production to be negative?
Assuming you mean can entropy be reduced; the answer is yes. Only in an open system such as our planet. The universe is a closed systems. The entropy of the universe cannot be reduced. Chemical changes can reduced entropy in an open system. When gas turns into a liquid or when a liquid turns into a solid; entropy is reduced.
What is the scientific measure of disorder is called?
This is called entropy.
What is a sample that has greater entropy?
A Carnot cycle is a sample of something that has greater entropy. The word entropy can e defined s meaning reverse system. The concept of entropy was started with the work of Lazare Carnot.
How is the concept of authority developed?

Who first developed the concept of acceleration?
Galileo developed the concept of acceleration.
What basic concepts of algebra were developed by Muslims?
the concept of the + sign. they also developed the concept of zero. and the+ sign
Why can't the days go back?
The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy always increases with time. Based on this, the British astronomer, Arthur Eddington developed the concept of the "Arrow of Time". According to this time is asymmetrical and we can only go forward in time. As a result days cannot go back.
The concept developed by Democritus was the?
The Atom.

Both were developed in India.
The scientific concept developed by Democritus was the?
the atom
Who originally developed the concept of attachment?
nobody
What is the law of entropy?
Entropy is the scientific concept of disorder and randomness that has many broad applications across different branches of physics. While it is not a law itself, it is central to understanding the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as objects that are in thermodynamic equilibrium are at their highest state of entropy.
Hindu-Arabic numerals developed in India invented which mathematical concept?
The concept of zero
