Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.Entropy. Energy likes being as spread out as possible. The entropy change is positive overall all the time. So the more you try to put energy closer together, the more it wants to break apart and spread out.
Okay ..
Thanks 🙏...@Opt
But, is there any science behind that energy likes being as spread out as possible?
A molecule is only stable if it attracts, not if it repels.
For attraction, it needs to have less potential energy.
Hence, for stability, a molecule(or any entity, for that matter) tends to prefer a state of lower energy.
The simplest example I can think of is iron. It's very hard to keep Fe2+ salts. It'll always want to go to Fe3+ because that single paired electrons results in instability across the whole subshell.

Why are lower energy systems stable?
Apart form the practical evidence that the systems that exist in nature try to attain lowest energy possible and hence, maximum stability, and atoms forms bonds to attain low potential energy but d...

Why less energy means more stability? [Pure Logic]
Why is less energy associated with more stability. Why does potential energy reduces as a system becomes more stable. Or Why does the potential energy increase as a system becomes less stable. Let's understand this logically.

one word answer would be: gradient. if you look at everything in physics, it all occurs due to some gradient pattern, and are governed from a higher potentiel gradient to lower potentiel gradient.........like imagine you have a ball, on a rough hill, so where would it want to roll? across the steepest slope!
really awesome channel for visualisation....i once went on a marathon of his videos and believe me......he is the guy to refer for special relativity as well!(welp...not for the mathmetical analysis tho.....just the visualisation 😄 )
That's really a good of an explanation
Crisp and Clear
True
This channel is just for the people who absolutely love physics for itself and not just solving questions
Thanks
