Question

. According to the concept of entropy, what will likely happen to most molecules over time? (Points : 3) . -They will break down.. -They will remain unchanged.. -They will turn into carbon molecules.. -They will bind to other molecules

Answer 1

According to the concept of entropy, the thing that will likely happen to most molecules over time is that they will breakdown. The molecules are normally very loosely connected and this helps them to breakdown. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option.

Answer 2

The correct answer is this: THEY WILL BREAK DOWN.
In chemistry, entropy is defined as the degree of disorderliness or randomness of a system. Entropy has to do with the second law of thermodynamic, which relates to how energy spread out. The entropy of a system can be positive or negative depending on the direction of flow of energy. In positive entropy, the degree of disorderliness increases while in negative entropy the degree of randomness decreases. A positive entropy will always leads to the breakdown of the affected molecules.
