He was a pioneer in photography and contributed to the Avogadro's gas law by proposing that some elements form diatomic or polyatomic gas.
not consider this possibility. Curiously, Avogadro considers only molecules containing even numbers of atoms; he does not say why odd numbers are left out.
In 1826, building on the work of Avogadro, the French chemist Jean-Baptiste Dumas states:
In coordination with these concepts, in 1833 the French chemist Marc Antoine Auguste Gaudin presented a clear account of Avogadro's hypothesis, regarding atomic weights, by making use of "volume diagrams", which clearly show both semi-correct molecular geometries, such as a linear
