high entropy.
When a solid metal corrodes into rust and powder the material becomes more disordered (more possible microscopic arrangements), so its entropy increases. "No entropy" is physically impossible for an ordinary macroscopic object at nonzero temperature, and "low entropy" is the opposite of what happens.
