Avagadro

Avagadro Avagadro was born Lorenzo Romano Amadeo Carlo Avogadro. Now it is obvious why he just went by Amedeo Avagadro! He was born in Turnin, Italy to a very wealthy family of lawyers. When he was only sixteen years old, he had already earned his bachelor of jurisprudence. Four years later he then gained his doctorate degree and began to practice law. Although Avagadro had a very successful legal career, he was still interested in natural philosophy. He decided to study physics and mathematics privately. His first scientific research was conducted on electricity with the help of his brother, Felice. In 1809, Avagadro became a professor of natural philosophy at the college of Vercelli. In 1811, Avagadro published an article in Journal de physique that drew the distinction between the atom and the molecule. He stated that Dalton had confused concepts of molecules and atoms. Avagadro stated that “equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of number, avogadro’s, avagadro, same, molecules, principle, now, avogadro, actually, years, volumes, very, stated, philosophy, natural, mole, molar, mass, help, gases, determine, born, work, weight, wealthy, wasn’t, vercelli, value, until, turnin, temperature, surface, successful, substance, study
