How did the Avogadro number happen? How did he know about molecules before they were even discovered? What is the Avogadro constant? The chemistry, physics and science of the Avogadro number is discussed in this complete history the Avogadro number, going all the way back to 400 BCE.

I had a hard time making this video. See what went wrong here:    • Avogadro Number outtakes
