In this article, we establish a detailed mathematical investigation of the molecular graph of terbium niobate (TbNbO4) from a chemical graph theory point of view. A series of degree-based topological indices, such as Randić, ABC, GA, Zagreb, and their redefined versions, are calculated to define molecular structure. In addition, related entropy values from these indices are found to determine structural complexity and information content. Numerical and graphical studies illustrate how indices and entropies are related to molecular size, showing unique growth trends and sensitivities. Logarithmic SPSS regression models are formulated to investigate how topological indices are related to entropy measures, providing significant correlations. The findings show how various indices are complementary to each other in representing local and global structures and are useful in molecular characterization, drug discovery, and computational chemistry.

Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
The relation between entropy and disorder can be illustrated with the example of the phase change of ice to water. In ice, the molecules are located at specific sites giving a solid state, whereas, in a liquid form, these molecules are much freer to move. The molecular arrangement has therefore become more randomized. Although the change in average...

The statement can be further generalized to prove that entropy is a state function. Take a cyclic process between any two points on a p-V diagram.
