Three partial structure factors, S ij (Q) , have been evaluated from the scattered X‐ray intensities of liquid HgTl alloys measured by Halder et al. [7] and of liquid HgIn alloys measured by Halder and Wagner [8] assuming that the S ij (Q) are independent on the relative abundance of the respective elements in the alloys. The functions S ij (Q) are independent on the relative abundance of the respective elements in the alloys. The functions S ij (Q) and S ij (Q) and their reduced radial distribution functions G ii (r) and G jj (r) obtained are very similar to those observed in their respective pure liquid metals. In both cases the partial S ij (Q) and G ij (r) have maxima which lie in between those of the pure elementes. From these results, liquid HgIn and HgTl alloys seem to be interpreted as random mixing fluids. Besides, the electrical resistivity was calculated using Faber‐Ziman's theory [14] and the pseudopotential of Evans [15] and compared with experimental data.
