How much correct to say entropy is always measure of disorder
Is disorder always related to entropy
Is disorder always related to entropy
That topic is often discussed here. I suggest a forum search (always a good idea on basic questions). A good place to start is with the links at the bottom of the page (the forum does a brief search for you, based on your subject line)LEELA PRATHAP KUMAR said:How much correct to say entropy is always measure of disorder

Certainly not "always." How do you define disorder?LEELA PRATHAP KUMAR said:How much correct to say entropy is always measure of disorder

Entropy is a measure of the amount of energy in a system that is unavailable for work, while disorder refers to the random arrangement of particles in a system. In other words, entropy measures the amount of energy that is not able to do work, while disorder measures the randomness or chaos in a system.
As a system increases in entropy, it becomes less organized and more random. This can lead to a decrease in the system's ability to do work and can result in a decrease in its overall stability. In thermodynamics, this is known as the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Yes, there is a direct relationship between entropy and temperature. As temperature increases, the entropy of a system also increases. This is because at higher temperatures, particles within a system have more energy and are able to move around more freely, increasing the randomness and disorder of the system.
No, entropy cannot be reversed. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the total entropy of a closed system will always increase over time. While it is possible to temporarily decrease the entropy of a small portion of a system, the overall entropy will continue to increase.
Entropy is closely related to the concept of equilibrium. In a closed system, entropy will always increase until it reaches a state of maximum entropy, or equilibrium. At this point, the system will no longer be able to do work and will be at its most disordered state.
