Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro, Count of Quaregna and Cerreto, 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.

The hypothesis was first published by Amedeo Avogadro in 1811, and it reconciled Dalton atomic theory with the incompatible idea of Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac that some gases were composite of different fundamental substances (molecules) in integer proportions.
