Question

What is entropy in one word?

Answer 1

1. Entropy is defined as the measurement of the degree of disordered particles in a system.
2. Entropy is a thermodynamic entity that is denoted by “S”.
3. The entropy of the system is the ratio of change in heat over-temperature, and is represented as follows:$∆\mathrm{S}={\left(\frac{∆\mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{T}}\right)}_{\mathrm{rev}}$
4. Where $∆\mathrm{S}$ is used to denote the change in entropy ,$∆\mathrm{Q}$ is the change in heat, and T is the absolute temperature.
5. Example: Campfire, Melting of ice, and boiling of water are some of the common examples of entropy.
