State
Entropy rises with a molecule's structural complexity, since more atoms allow more vibrational microstates for that molecule to access.
Show
Propanol, with more atoms and more possible vibrations, has higher entropy than methanol.
Watch for
Complexity means more atoms and more ways to vibrate, not merely a larger molar mass or an unfamiliar-looking formula.
