✦ Synopsis

The lowering of the entropy of simple liquids due to the nonspherical shape of the repulsive molecular cores was estimated quantitatively from a generalized van der Waals equation. For the liquids considered, the entropy lowering relative to an equivalent hard sphere liquid was found to be in the range 0.1R to 0.3R. Such a small decrease can be explained as due to partial compensation of the loss of orientational disorder and the gain in packing disorder which arise from nonsphericity.
