Chem#30
Destroyer says C4H10 has a greater entropy than C3H8.

Shouldn't C4H10 have a lower entropy than C3H8 since C3H8 has the most freedom? ie. it has less chemical bonds. Doesn't entropy increase with decreasing number of bonds?

ya, it's a stupid question.
IMO, ignore it. It is trying to say that entropy is greater when there are more conformations.

more bonds to rotate around, more energy.
