Entropy is positive when a system undergoes an increase in disorder or randomness, typically during spontaneous processes. This often occurs in chemical reactions, phase changes, or when mixing substances, where the final state has more possible microstates than the initial state. In thermodynamics, the second law dictates that the total entropy of an isolated system will either increase or remain the same, ensuring that natural processes tend toward greater disorder over time.
