What is another word for conformational entropy?
Pronunciation: [kɒnfɔːmˈe͡ɪʃənə͡l ˈɛntɹəpi] (IPA) 
Conformational entropy is a term that describes the degree of disorder in a molecule caused by its ability to adopt different shapes or conformations. Synonyms for this expression include rotational entropy, structural entropy, and configurational entropy. Rotational entropy refers to the randomness associated with the movement of a molecule's constituent parts around their fixed positions, whereas structural entropy reflects the changes in disorder due to changes in the overall arrangement of atoms in a molecule. Configurational entropy encompasses the diversity of ways in which a molecule can react and change its shape or configuration. All these synonyms are used to convey the same fundamental concept of the degree of randomness in molecular structure and dynamics.
