Entropy and Enthalpy
Entropy is measured using ΔS
...
Entropy has the unit of Joules per Kelvin per mole
...
This is because if they are at a lower energy
level they tend to be more comfortable
...

A spontaneous change can only take place in one direction unless we put in work
...

Both entropy and enthalpy balance each other out for example an ice cube melting is
spontaneous however it is endothermic, this is due to the entropy value
...
This is called the Gibbs free energy
...
Although if the ΔG value
is greater than 0 the reaction will not happen spontaneously at that temperature
...
We compare the ions

...
Check the ionic charge (greater charge means greater charge density)
