Value of the Avogadro constant was chosen so that the mass of one mole of a chemical compound, in grams, is numerically equal to the average mass of one molecule of the compound in daltons ; one dalton being.

Avogadro constant is named after the Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro, who, in 1811, first proposed that the volume of a gas is proportional to the number of atoms or molecules regardless of the nature of the gas.
