Entropy
is correlated with
Randomness
or
disorder
but it's not the same thing or
equivalent
to it.
Entropy
is related to the
number
of
microstates
, represented by the letter
S.
Microstates
are the number of
unique
states that a
system
can
exist
in, with more
microstates
meaning more
entropy.
If a system has
one microstate
, the
natural log
of one is
zero
, resulting in
zero entropy.
Boltzmann's constant
, represented by the letter
K sub B
, is used in the equation for
entropy.
The
universal gas constant
, represented by the letter
R
, is related to
Boltzmann's constant.
Entropy
is related to the
number
of
microstates
, represented by the letter Omega.
Microstates
are the number of
unique
states that a
system
can
exist
in, with more
microstates
meaning more
entropy.
If a system has
one microstate
, the
natural log
of one is
zero
, resulting in
zero entropy.
Boltzmann's constant
, represented by the letter

, is used in the equation for
entropy.
The
universal gas constant
, represented by the letter

, is related to
Boltzmann's constant.

If a system has

, the

Entropy
, represented by the letter
'S'
, is a measure of
disorder
or
randomness
in a system.
The
larger
the
volume
, the more locations atoms and molecules could be in, leading to
more
microstates
and
more
entropy.
More
moles
of a
substance
also means more
entropy.
The
number
of
particles
in a
system affects
its
entropy.
More
complex molecules
result in more
entropy.
Gases
have
more entropy
than any other
phase.
