Explanation
It is also called the phenomenon that the number of the same kind of atoms in the solution is larger than the average value of the atoms of a component in the solution in a small range adjacent to the atoms of a component. atomic segregation is the opposite of the short-range ordering of atoms in the solution. Generally, metasolvent will more or less show a deviation from the ideal completely disordered phase, that is, if there is no short-range order, atomic segregation will occur; The reverse is also true. The result of atomic segregation will form "atomic clusters" in the solution, that is, relatively stable microscopic or submicroscopic aggregates composed of several or even thousands of atoms, molecules or ions through physical or chemical binding force. It is a level of material structure between atoms and molecules and macroscopic intermediates.
