Both assertion and reason are correct
Explanation:
Entropy is basically the DEGREE OF RANDOMNESS,
more orderly or more symmetry means less randomness, means less entropy.
when the irregularity occurs in a structure entropy increases, therefore when liquid crystallises into solid entropy decreases because, in crystals, molecule organised systematically.
