  In liquid: Athermal solutions
  In a solution in which the molecules of one component are much larger than those of the other, the assumption that the solution is regular (i.e., that S E = 0) no longer provides a reasonable approximation even if the effect of intermolecular forces…

  In liquid: Energy considerations
  …considerations are dominant are called athermal solutions, and those for which the effects of intermolecular forces are more important than those of structure are called regular solutions (see below Regular and athermal solutions).
