Hello everyone today. We have the falling problem which situation below shows the highest entropy. Well, first it's important to know what entropy is entropy. In simplest terms. It's just a measure of disorder in a system. So it's the measure of disorder in a system. And so if we look at answer choice A we look at the molecules and we can note that they are highly ordered, right? They are very neat be stacked upon one another. And if a system is highly ordered, it is said to have the lowest entropy. So answer choice is not going to be our answer. If we look at sea, we can see that this is considered very disordered, right? The molecules are kind of everywhere and it's more disordered than that of B. So we're going to focus on C. And if something is very disordered or low lee ordered, it's going to have the highest entropy right? Something is highly disordered. That means we're going to have high entropy. And so that's why my answer is going to be Andrew choice C. And with that we've answered the question overall. I hope this helped. And until next time
