Which one has higher entropy h2 or 2h ? H2 molecule is more stable then 2h atom then why 2h has higher entropy

Open in App

Solution

Dear student,. Entropy is a measure of randomness or disorderness . H2 is a molecule of hydrogen and is stable whereas 2H means two atoms of hydrogen and are unstable so 2H has more randomness and disorder and have thus higher entropy than H2 molecule. Regards
