Answer 1

Increasing entropy is increasing disorder.

note - more spread out --> more entropy

Answer 2

(for example solids to gasses :)

Answer 3

And I still think it is Physics :)

Answer 4

Nope. This is AP chemistry.

Answer 5

c is the answer.
For my money I wish physics had kept it.

Answer 6

It’s literally regular chemistry
