A detailed analysis of X-ray scattering intensity of molten Fe-P and Fe-Si alloys has been carried out by X-ray diffraction with anomalous scattering technique. The three partial structures required to characterize a binary molten alloy have been estimated. It is found that the fundamental configuration of atoms for molten Fe-P and Fe-Si alloys consists mainly of the disorderly distributed Fe atoms like those in the dense random packing model of liquids. But it is also confirmed that the short range order in the near neighbour distance for molten Fe-P alloys is similar to that of Fe3P type.
