Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given condition that total ΔS (Entropy) increases when the compound assumes lower energy conformation or the electrons assumes lower energy state should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Entropy: It is usually defined as the degree of the randomness or disorder present in the respective system.

The total entropy change associated with given reaction is equal to the sum of both entropy change associated with the system and the surrounding.

The entropy change within the system is the difference between the final and the initial states in the system. The entropy change in the given chemical reaction is as follows,

ΔS = Number of products – Number of reactants
