Question

In which of the following physical or chemical processes does the entropy of the system strictly decrease?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Entropy is a measure of molecular disorder. Gases are highly disordered, while liquids are more structured. Condensation (gas to liquid) restricts molecular movement, thereby strictly decreasing the system's entropy ($\Delta S < 0$).
