The statement that is FALSE.

Entropy increases with dissolution.

Entropy generally increases with increasing molecular complexity.

For noble gasses, entropy increases with size.

The entropy of a gas is greater than the entropy of a liquid.

Free atoms have greater entropy than molecules.

Explanation:

Free atoms have greater entropy than molecules.

The energy is increased in faster moving particles, the opposite happens in slower ones. The entropy increases if there is randomized distribution of the energy, the system becomes then more stable as energy is released in a cluster.
