I’m assuming you are referring to entropy? Entropy by definition is “amount” of randomness. When we say a system (chemical or not) has low entropy, we mean that it has low randomness. In chemistry, this can refer to a few things, but think of adding a drop of food coloring to water. At first, the drop is concentrated on a blob on the water. This is higher entropy (disorder), as particles of dye and water are not evenly distributed. Wait a few minutes, or give it a stir, then the two liquids are mixed. This is lower entropy, as particles are more evenly distributed.
