Azeotropes are mixtures of two or more liquids that maintain a constant boiling point and composition throughout the distillation process, behaving as if they were a single pure substance. This unique property arises from the specific interactions between the components, which can result in either a minimum or maximum boiling point compared to the individual components' boiling points.
