Can someone help me understand entropy

Entropy- is a thermodynamic quantity that is a measure of the dispersion of energy of the system among the different possible ways that system can contain that energy. Thereby, reducing its ability to do work

If a system entropy value gets smaller; one can argue its ability to do work decreases because number of micro states of the system decreases?

Compare to if a system entropy gets larger, one can argue it has a higher chance to dispense its energy to the surrounding compare to a system with a lower entropy value?

If you have more things to add, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Consider the two diagrams showing the energies (boxes) of each of four A particles and four B particles shown below. The dotted lines represent the allowed energies of each particle.

	What is the energy of system A?	12
	What is the energy of system B?	20
	In how many ways can the energy of system A be distributed?	?
	In how many ways can the energy of system B be distributed?	?
	Which system has the greater entropy?	A
