Hi,
Entropy means randomness of the molecules or the atoms of a system.
Real time example is, take in case of liquids the entropy is more bcoz the atoms are free to flow there is no restriction hence entropy is more, if it gets slowly solidified the entropy goes on reducing bcoz now there is a restriction on the atoms.
