Answer:
Entropy, the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. Because work is obtained from ordered molecular motion, the amount of entropy is also a measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system.

Answer:
Entropy is a measure of the energy dispersal in the system. We see evidence that the universe tends toward highest entropy many places in our lives.
Some examples...
A campfire is an example of entropy. The solid wood burns and becomes ash, smoke and gases, all of which spread energy outwards more easily than the solid fuel.
