Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The number of microstates is directly related to the number of microscopic particles and the space available to them, such that an increase in either of these factors leads to an increase in the number of possible microstates. Similarly, a decrease in either factor would lead to a decrease in the number of microstates.
