A theoretical investigation of the energetics and its effect on the alloying behaviour of Cd-Hg and Cd-Mg liquid alloys have been carried out with the aim of correlating their bulk and surface phenomena. Using the Quasi-chemical approximation for regular solution model, our results indicate that Cd-Hg and Cd-Mg are weakly heterocoordinated both in the bulk and on the surface. We observed that the degree of chemical order in Cd-Mg liquid alloy is more than that of Cd-Hg liquid alloy.
