AI overview
Amedeo Avogadro was an Italian scientist who made important contributions to chemistry and physics in the early 1800s. He is best known for Avogadro's Law, which describes how gases behave, and for the concept of the mole, a fundamental tool that chemists still use today to measure and work with atoms and molecules.

Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro, Count of Quaregna and Cerreto (/ˌævəˈɡɑːdroʊ/, also US: /ˌɑːv-/, Italian: [ameˈdɛːo avoˈɡaːdro]; 9 August 1776 – 9 July 1856) 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. In tribute to him, the ratio of the number of elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions or other particles) in a substance to its amount of substance (the latter having the unit mole), 6.02214076×10 mol, is known as the Avogadro constant. This constant is denoted NA, and is one of the seven defining constants of the SI.
