Question

according to the concept of entropy, what will likely happen to most molecules over time?
o they will collect into an organized pile.
o they will combine to form larger molecules.
o they will turn into oxygen molecules.
o they will break down.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Entropy is a measure of disorder in a system. In an isolated system, entropy tends to increase over time. Molecules in a system will move towards a state of higher disorder. Breaking down into smaller components increases the disorder of the system compared to forming organized piles or larger molecules. There is no reason to assume they will specifically turn into oxygen molecules.

Answer:

They will break down.
