This is where Amedeo Avogadro comes into the picture (of course his real name is Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro di Quaregna e di Cerreto—but everyone just calls him Avogadro for obvious reasons). Avogadro developed the following idea. Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro di Quaregna (Quaregga) e di Cerreto (9 Agoosto 1776 – 9 Luulyo 1856) Amedeo Avogadro Waa aqoonyahan Talyaani ah dhashay 1776-1856 waa aqoonyahan Fisikis ka aad uyaqaan, waxa uu ku dhashay Torino, waxa uuna kasoo shaqeeyey jaamacadda Torino. Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro di Quaregna e di Cerreto, Count dari Quaregna dan cerreto (lahir di Torino, Italia, 9 Agustus 1776 – meninggal di Torino, Italia, 9 Juli 1856 pada umur 79 tahun) adalah seorang ilmuwan Italia. Ia paling terkenal karena kontribusinya untuk teori molekul, termasuk apa yang dikenal sebagai hukum Avogadro.

Amedeo Avogadro, born in Turin, then capital of the Sardinian States, first studied and practiced the law, but his brilliance, intense curiosity and constant adherence to strict logic led to an interest in the physical sciences. In 1820 he became professor of physics at the University of Turin. In 1821 he published (in French) his famous hypothesis, that equal volumes of gases at the same conditions of temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules. He distinguished atoms from molecules, and proposed that oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen (among others) had diatomic molecules. Avogadro's number, 6.023 x 1023, is the number of molecules in one gram-molecular weight of a substance. In part because he worked in isolation, the tremendous significance of Avogadro's work was not recognized until nearly half a century after it was first published. The photograph, the only one known, is from a death mask.
