How has Avogadro\'s hypothesis helped in making distinguish between atom and molecules |
| Answer» Avogadro’s assertion is a “law” rather than a “hypothesis” or a “theory” precisely because it has withstood two centuries of rigorous usage and observation. Indeed the point of the law is that the volume of a gas does NOT depend on the size of the molecules. That said, it has been recognized from the start that Avogadro’s Law presumes an “ideal gas”. Deviations from ideal behavior are expected, for example, when gas molecules reversibly interact with one another or when gases are highly compressed. | |
