Abstract
The third law is generalized to the effect that for systems in interna l thermodynamic equilibrium, either the entropy tends to zero with the temperature, implying a state of complete order, or the entropy tends to its maximum value as the temperature increases without limit, indi cating a state of complete disorder.
