NEET Physics Heat Engines Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The entropy of a system increases when a crystalline solid is converted to liquid.
Reason (R): Liquids have a more ordered structure compared to crystalline solids.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, liquids generally have a more disordered structure than crystalline solids, leading to an increase in entropy upon conversion from solid to liquid.
