Comparing Entropy values

The values of all standard molar entropies are positive and elements
have positive standard molar entropy values. All perfect crystals have
the same entropy of a temperature of absolute zero.
1. Gases generally have much higher entropy values than liquids and
liquids have higher entropy values than solids. There are exceptions
to this. For example, Solid calcium carbonate (92.9 J mol−1K−1) has
higher entropy value than liquid mercury (76 J mol−1K−1).
2. Simpler substances with fewer atoms have lower entropy values
than more complex substances with greater number of atoms. For
example, for calcium oxide, CaO, So = 39.7 J mol-1K-1 but for calcium
carbonate, CaCO3, So = 92.9 J mol-1K-1. Carbon monoxide, CO, has a
lower entropy value than carbon dioxide, CO2.
3. For similar types of substances, harder substances have a lower
entropy value. For example, diamond has a lower entropy value than
graphite and calcium have a lower entropy value than lead.
4. For a given substance the entropy increases as a solid melt and then
changes to a vapor. For example, the molar entropy of ice below its
melting point is 48.0 J mol-1K-1, the molar entropy for water is 69.9 J
mol-1K-1, but just above its boiling point, the value increases to 188.7
J mol-1K-1.
