Reply to TIL Amedeo Avogadro's contribution to chemistry, known as Avogadro's law, did not initially receive much attention when he published his paper in 1811. It was only a century later that his work was recognized, when the King of Italy attended a meeting commemorating the paper's 100th anniversary. by dustofoblivion123
I read the relevant Wikipedia articles, but the details went right over my head. Can someone ELI5 how Avogrado's constant came into being?
In other words, why is it that 12.011g of carbon and 15.999g of carbon both contains 6x10^^23 atoms of the respective element?
