The p a r t i a l structure factors, Sij(q), and thermodynamic properties of a model liquid b i n a r y alloy are c a l c u l a t e d in the mean spherical approximation. It is assumed the ordering potential, v(r) = ~[~1~(r) + ~22(r) - 2~12(r) ], is given by a screened Coulomb potential form, and is dependent on concentration. The functional behaviour of v(r) is chosen so that it describes phase separating tendencies at one c o n c e n t r a t i o n range, and c o m p o u n d forming tendencies at antoher. This type of b e h a v i o u r appears to be p r e s e n t in liquid Na-Cd.
