How is the change in entropy related to the rearrangement of atoms or ions during a chemical reaction?

Options

  1. AAn increase in entropy is associated with a decrease in the disorder of atomic arrangements.
  2. BAn increase in entropy is associated with an increase in the disorder of atomic arrangements.
  3. CEntropy is not related to the rearrangement of atoms or ions in a chemical reaction.
  4. DDecrease in entropy is related to an increase in the regularity of atomic structures.

Correct answer

B. An increase in entropy is associated with an increase in the disorder of atomic arrangements.

Step-by-step solution

An increase in entropy is typically associated with an increase in the disorder or randomness of atomic or molecular arrangements during a chemical reaction.
