The statement is Wrong: it is a perfectly crystalline solid at absolute zero (0 K) whose entropy is zero - not a gaseous substance.

Entropy is a measure of disorder/randomness. Gas molecules move randomly and rapidly in all directions, so gases are the MOST disordered state of matter and have the HIGHEST entropy of the three states, not zero. The Third Law of Thermodynamics instead says that the entropy of a perfect crystalline substance (atoms/ions arranged in one single, perfectly ordered pattern) approaches zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero (0 K), because at that point there is essentially onl …
