Early Life • Avagadro was a man born from a noble family in Turin, Italy in the year 1776. • He would later graduate in the field of ecclesiastical law around 20 years of age. He would later begin to practice this as a profession. • Amedeo has also taught at high schools in Vercelli where his family owned property. He also studied in Physics and Mathematics. • He made an essay on the proportions and relative sizes of molecules
Accomplishments • Avagadro’s Law states that the masses of two gases that has the same volume is also shares the same molecular weight. • In 1815 he published another memoir referring to the densities of compounds. • In 1841, he published hi s work, “Physics of ponderable bodies, namely the Treaty of the material constitution of'bodies”
Response • Other scientific individuals did not recognize Avagadro’s theory to the fullest extent. • Later another scientist named Andre Ampere had achieved the same results 3 years after by using a different strategy. • Studies by other scientists were able to validate Avagadro’s theory.
Avagadro’s Number • This number is used to define the amount of space within the atom. • Its used by scientists worldwide • It was created by Avagadro. • It is: 6.02 x 10 to the 23rd power
Paragraph • My work is about the life of AmadeoAvagadro along with his accomplishments and his early life. My work relates to the legacy because it ties into one of the lessons that we learned about previously in class. So now I’m passing it down to the “future” students. The project I decided to do is a powerpoint reflection on his biography.
