    Answer: -

    Thus the entropy of the particles in the surroundings move slower and have decreased entropy.

    Explanation: -

    In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings.

    So the particles in the surroundings lose energy to the system during an endothermic reaction.

    Due to a loss in their kinetic energy, the particles move slower.

    Thus the entropy of the particles in the surroundings move slower and have decreased entropy.
