Entropy Is Simple, Qualitatively.
Lambert, Frank L.
Journal of Chemical Education, v79 n10 p1241-46 Oct 2002
Suggests that qualitatively, entropy is simple. Entropy increase from a macro viewpoint is a measure of the dispersal of energy from localized to spread out at a temperature T. Fundamentally based on statistical and quantum mechanics, this approach is superior to the non-fundamental "disorder" as a descriptor of entropy change. (MM)
