when they mean disorder do they mean the range of velocities of the particles increasing as entropy increases? so there are larger differences between the low KE particles and the high KE particles?

when I reffered to they I was talking about the people in science who give the definitions and describe scientific concepts, it is a neglectible fact for answering my question.Who is "they"? We can't tell you what someone means if we don't know who you're asking about.
If you're serious about understanding entropy, your first step should be to forget everything you've heard about "disorder" and start in on the real definition of entropy in terms of number of states.

well if it helps any I get my physics information from a textbook.It may seem trivial, but it is often the case that telling us the source of your information can help us explain something to you. From your original question we don't know if you're reading a textbook, a wiki article, or something else.

There is no single authority doing this, science is a much more open process.when I reffered to they I was talking about the people in science who give the definitions and describe scientific concepts
It is absolutely necessary.it is a neglectible fact for answering my question.
