In a binary mixture that exhibits negative deviation from Raoult's Law, the intermolecular forces between the components of the mixture are stronger than the forces between the components and the solvent. This results in a lower vapour pressure of the mixture compared to the vapour pressure predicted by Raoult's Law.
