An amount of water forms a single hexagonally symmetric snowflake. Elsewhere the same amount of water is a droplet of liquid water. Which state has higher entropy?
A) Their entropy levels are the same, since they are actually the same amount of H2O, just different phases.
B) The droplet of liquid water, since it is more unruly and can adopt almost any shape.
C) The solid water, since it has a tight restriction to hexagonal symmetry.
