The third law of thermodynamics is often associated with the concept of entropy. One consequence of the third law of thermodynamics is that as the temperature of a system approaches absolute zero (0 Kelvin), the entropy of the system approaches a minimum or constant value. This is known as the entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero.
In practical terms, it implies that at absolute zero, a perfectly ordered crystal would have minimal entropy. The third law provides a baseline for understanding the behavior of systems at low temperatures and their approach to a state of minimum entropy.
