How is a boiled egg in higher state of disorder than an unboiled egg?

This is a bit of a trick question! While it might seem like a boiled egg is more disordered, in terms of thermodynamics and entropy, it's actually the opposite.

Here's why:

* Entropy and Disorder: Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system. The more ways a system can be arranged, the higher its entropy.

* Unboiled Egg: An unboiled egg has a highly organized structure. The yolk and white are distinct, with protein molecules arranged in a specific way.

* Boiled Egg: When you boil an egg, the heat causes the proteins in the egg to denature and unfold. This leads to a more randomized arrangement of the protein molecules, making the egg more disordered.

* The Paradox: While a boiled egg appears less organized (think of the scrambled yolk), the *overall* entropy of the system (the egg and its surroundings) *increases* due to the heat energy transferred during the boiling process. This means the universe as a whole has become more disordered.

In short, the boiled egg itself has *lower* entropy than the raw egg, but the process of boiling increases entropy in the *surroundings*, leading to a net increase in entropy for the entire system.
