What is does 'law of entropy' mean in thermodynamics?

OpenStudy (df001):

Can I get a brief definition that can be easily understood by starters. I am new to this topic.

Take a look. This should help: http://www.livescience.com/50941-second-law-thermodynamics.html

Okay, I did some research online and they say "law of entropy is measure of chaos/disorder"

OpenStudy (df001):

can you confirm if this is the meaning of what "law of entropy" mean?

OpenStudy (agl202):

It's a measure of energy dispersal at a specific temperature. a measure of disorder in the universe or of the availability of the energy in a system to do work.
