Name the thermodynamic state function that is a measure of randomness or can also be defined as “Energy spontaneously disperses from being localized to becoming spread out if it is not hindered from doing so."

Consider a system similar to the one in Figure 16.8, except that it contains six particles instead of four. What is the probability of having all the particles in only one of the two boxes in the case? Compare this with the similar probability for the system of four particles that we have derived to be equal to 18 . What does this comparison tell us about even larger systems?
