If the system becomes more disordered, the entropy change will be positive. If the system becomes more ordered, the entropy change will be negative.
The solute becomes less ordered
The tendency in nature for systems to become less ordered or organized is called entropy. This concept is central to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that in any natural process, the total entropy of an isolated system will always increase over time.
Entropy. The going form well ordered systems to disordered systems.
The term is "entropy." Entropy refers to the measure of disorder or randomness in a system, and it tends to increase over time in isolated systems as they move towards equilibrium.
A perfectly ordered crystal at absolute zero is not apt to increase entropy, as entropy tends to increase with higher temperatures and disorder.
Entropy.
If the system becomes more disordered, the entropy change will be positive. If the system becomes more ordered, the entropy change will be negative.
Irreversible because the ordered arrangement of molecules in the ice crystals is lost and the entropy increases. Irreversible because the ordered arrangement of molecules in the ice crystals is lost and the entropy increases.

The entropy of a system typically decreases during the condensation of water. This is because the molecules of water vapor become more ordered as they transition into the liquid state, reducing the overall disorder (entropy) in the system.

The products becoming more ordered than the reactants

The system has become more ordered.
