Avogadro's hypothesis- State that... Equal volume of all gases under similar conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal number of atoms. Example-Hydrogen + Chlorine = 2 1 vol. 1 vol. = 2 vol. N atoms n atom = 2n Molecules _on dividing throughout by 2n. 1/2 atom 1/2 atom = n molecules This implies that one compound. Atom of hydrogen chloride is made up of 1/2 atom of hydrogen and 1/2 atom of chlorine. This is in direct conflict with Dalton's atomic theory which states that atoms are the ultimate particles of elements and are indivis...
