1. Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro, Count of Quaregna and Cerreto was an Italian scientist, most noted for his contribution to molecular theory now known as Avogadro's law, which states that equal volumes of gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure will contain equal numbers of molecules.
Amedeo Avogadro was born in Turin to a noble family of the Kingdom of Sardinia in the year 1776.
Amedeo Avogadro graduated in ecclesiastical law at the late age of 20 and began to practice.
Amedeo Avogadro submitted this essay to Jean-Claude Delametherie's Journal de Physique, de Chimie et d'Histoire naturelle.
Turin was now the capital of the restored Savoyard Kingdom of Sardinia under Victor Emmanuel I Avogadro was active in the revolutionary movement of March 1821.
Well before this, Amedeo Avogadro had been recalled to the university in Turin in 1833, where he taught for another twenty years.
Amedeo Avogadro held posts dealing with statistics, meteorology, and weights and measures and was a member of the Royal Superior Council on Public Instruction.
The Amedeo Avogadro constant is used to compute the results of chemical reactions.
Amedeo Avogadro developed this hypothesis after Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac published his law on volumes in 1808.
The greatest problem Amedeo Avogadro had to resolve was the confusion at that time regarding atoms and molecules.
Amedeo Avogadro believed that there were three kinds of "molecules", including an "elementary molecule".
Amedeo Avogadro explained that these exceptions were due to molecular dissociations at certain temperatures, and that Avogadro's law determined not only molecular masses but atomic masses as well.
Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff showed that Amedeo Avogadro's theory held in dilute solutions.
Amedeo Avogadro is hailed as a founder of the atomic-molecular theory.
