______energy and more _____.

A. lower, disorder B. lower, order C. higher, disorder D. higher, order

Answer 1

In nature, there is a bias toward:

1. Decreasing enthalpy (energy content) in a system (meaning that a reaction is favored if enthalpy decreases)
2. Increasing entropy (disorderliness) in a system (meaning that a reaction is favored if entropy increases)

So the answer to your question is A:

Nature tends towards lower energy and more disorder.

Hope this helps.
