• A measure of the degree of disorder in any system. Spontaneous reactions in a closed system are always accompanied by increase in entropy.

Glossary of "Environmental Science: Earth as a Living Planet (2nd ed.)" by Botkin & Keller (1998)

• A measure in a system of the amount of energy that is unavailable for useful work. As the disorder of a system increases, the entropy in a system also increases.
