Perfect crystals of carbon monoxide (CO) are difficult to prepare because the very small dipole moment allows a few molecules to align in a pattern such as CO OC CO instead of CO CO CO. If such disordered crystals were cooled to 0 K, what would be the value of their absolute entropy?
A) (> 0)
B) (= 0)
C) (< 0)
D) (> 0, = 0, or < 0, depending on how carefully it was cooled)
E) (> 0 or = 0, depending on how carefully it was cooled)
