Amedeo Avogadro, an Italian physicist, first proposed the concept in 1811, but it was Jean Perrin that specifically calculated the number through numerous methods and received a Nobel Prize in 1926.
According to Wikipedia, the Avogadro constant "is named after the early nineteenth-century Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro, who, in 1811, first proposed that the volume of a gas (at a given pressure and temperature) is proportional to the number of atoms or molecules regardless of the nature of the gas. The French physicist Jean Perrin in 1909 proposed naming the constant in honor of Avogadro. "
Numerous scientists have been involved in the "development" of this number since knowing it requires measuring things. From the dates referred to above, you can see it was a hundred years between the time it was recognized as an essential quantity to be known in advancing our understanding that atoms and molecules exist as individual countable entities. This was important in quantifying early chemistry.
The number of Avogadro is the number of molecules in a mole of substance.
The value is 6,022 140 857(74).1o.e23.
6.023*10^23
It is 6.022 x 1023
1 mole has 6,022 140 857 (74).1023 molecules, atoms, ions.
A Mole of anything is avogadros number of particles which is 6.022 x 10^23. So a mole of Photos is 6.002 x 10^23 number of photons.
Avagadro's number allows you to calculate how many molecules are in a mole of a substance or vice versa
A mole.
1. 6.022 X 1023 is Avogadros number (Avogadros constant) the number of atoms in a mole.
No.
Its avogadros number
I asked this question wrong. It should be Avogadros Number. Sorry!
atoms in 12 g of c-12
Avogadros number (approximately). The atomic weight of iron is 55.845. Avogadros number , the number of atoms in a mole of an element, or the number of molecules in a mole of a compound is 6.023 X 1023
6.023*10^23
It is 6.02 (times) 10 to the power of 23
The unit is "per mole", or mol^-1.
It is the number of fundamental particles - atoms or molecules - of a substance in 1 mole of that substance.
It is 6.022 x 1023
