Why entropy (...

Question

Why entropy ( delta S) is higher in liquid state?

Open in App

Solution

Dear student

The molecules in the liquid state are less packed and thus are in the state of motion and hence possess kinetic energy.
Due to this there is more randomness in the liquid state , and hence the entropy is high.
