Entropy is a scientific term used to describe the amount of disorder or randomness in a system. The concept of entropy is the key behind the Second Law of Thermodynamics and is an important limiting factor in many physical processes studied in thermodynamics. Even the arrow of time, is given it's direction by the second law and the requirement that no process can decrease total entropy of a system.
