Among the following processes, for which process, the change in entropy $(\Delta S)$ is negative?

Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

When water freezes its entropy decreases. A negative change in entropy indicates that the disorder of an isolated system has decreased. When liquid water freezes into ice represents an isolated decrease in entropy because liquid particles are more disordered than solid particles. Hence, option (b) is correct.
