The third law of thermodynamics relates the entropy (randomness) of matter to its absolute temperature. which of the following statements are in agreement with the third law of thermodynamics? check all that apply. view available hint(s) check all that apply. at the melting point, the entropy of a system increases abruptly as the compound transforms into a liquid. at absolute zero, the interatomic distance within a crystal is minimized. in a gaseous state, the entropy of the system is zero. in a crystalline state, there is a tendency to minimize entropy. as the temperature of a perfect crystal increases, the random vibrations of the molecules decrease. at zero degrees kelvin, substances maximize entropy.
