    Nernst.
    📝
    Statement
    Entropy of perfectly crystalline solid is zero at absolute zero temperature.
    📝
    Reason
    At absolute zero, perfectly crystalline solid has perfect order of constituent particles.
    📝
    Use
    Calculation of absolute entropy.
    📝
    Exception
    \(NO\), \(N_2O\), \(CO\) etc. do not have zero entropy even at absolute zero because randomness due to dipole moment remains.
