Re: Microstates
I think a microstate is the way in we can arrange the energy of a system and as the amount of atoms in the system increases, the amount of possible microstates also increases. Knowing this value helps calculate entropy.

Re: Microstates
Adding on to the comment above, an increased value of microstates results in more disorder is a system, therefore increasing the value of entropy.

Re: Microstates
If there are two possible options for a microstate, then W = 2^N where N is the number of atoms
