Question
entropy is a measure of ______ in a closed system.
multiple choice
disorder
potential
chemical energy
kinetic energy
Brief Explanations
In thermodynamics (a subfield of Physics, which is part of Natural Science), entropy is defined as a measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system. Potential energy is related to the position of an object, chemical energy is energy stored in chemical bonds, and kinetic energy is energy of motion—none of these match the definition of entropy. So the correct option is the one with "disorder".
