Avogadro works in chemistry

In 1811, Avogadro published an article in Journal de physique that clearly drew the
distinction between the molecule and the atom. He pointed out that Dalton had
confused the concepts of atoms and molecules. The "atoms" of nitrogen and
oxygen are in reality "molecules" containing two atoms each. Thus two molecules
of hydrogen can combine with one molecule of oxygen to produce two molecules
of water.

Avogadro suggested that:

equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the
same number of molecules, which is now known as Avogadro's Principle.
The work of Avogadro was almost completely neglected until it was forcefully
presented by Stanislao Cannizarro at the Karlsruhe Conference in 1860. He
showed that Avogadro's Principle could be used to determine not only molar
masses, but also, indirectly, atomic masses.
