Which state of matter has the highest entropy?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the relationship between states of matter and entropy. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system, and the question seeks to identify which state of matter (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) exhibits the highest level of entropy.

Answer

Gases.

The final answer is gases.

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is gases.

More Information

Entropy is a measure of randomness or disorder within a system. Gases have the highest entropy due to their particles having the greatest freedom of movement and a large number of accessible microstates.

Tips

Ensure to understand that entropy is closely related to the number of microstates available to the system, not just the phase of matter.
