Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: Define Entropy** Entropy is a measure of the degree of randomness or disorder in a system. It quantifies how spread out or dispersed energy is within that system. **Step 2: Explain the Relationship Between States of Matter and Entropy** Different states of matter have different levels of entropy: - **Solid:** Molecules are closely packed with strong intermolecular forces, resulting in low entropy. ...
