Avogadro's law "P" are taken at standard conditions for temperature and pressure (STP), then "k"'=1/"n", where "n" is Loschmidt constant. Avogadro's hypothesis (as it was known originally) was formulated in the same spirit of earlier empirical gas laws like Boyle's law (1662), Charles's law (1787) and Gay-Lussac's law (1808). The hypothesis was first published by Amadeo Avogadro in 1811, and reconciled Dalton atomic theory with the "incompatible" idea of Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac that some gases were composite of different fundamental substances (molecules) in integer proportions. In 1814, independently from Avogadro, André-Marie Ampère published the same law with similar conclusions. As Ampère was
Industrial gas since all isotopes are radiogenic nuclides from radioactive decay. (It is not known if any synthetic elements with atomic number above 108 are gases.) The elements which are stable two atom homonuclear molecules at standard temperature and pressure (STP), are hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O), plus the halogens fluorine (F) and chlorine (Cl). The noble gases are all monatomic. In the industrial gases industry the term "elemental gases" (or sometimes less accurately "molecular gases") is used to distinguish these gases from molecules that are also chemical compounds. These elements are all nonmetals. Radon is chemically stable, but it
