AVOGADRO, AMEDEO, CONTE Dr QUAREGNA (1776-1856), Italian physicist, was born at
Turin
  on the 9th of June 1776, and died there on the 9th of July 1856. He was for many years
professor
  of higher physics in
Turin
  University. He published many
physical
  memoirs on electricity, the dilatation of liquids by heat, specific heats, capillary attraction, atomic volumes &c. as well as a treatise in 4 volumes on Fisica di corgi ponderabili (1837-1841). But he is chiefly remembered for his " Essai d'une maniere de determiner les masses relatives des molecules elementaires des corps, et les proportions selon lesquelles elles entrent clans les combinaisons" (Journ. de Phys., 1811), in which he enunciated the hypothesis known by his name (Avogadro's
rule
 ) that under the same conditions of temperature and pressure equal volumes of all gases contain the same number of smallest particles or molecules, whether those particles consist of single atoms or are composed 'of two or more atoms of the same or different kinds.
ws AVOIDANCE (from " avoid," properly to make empty or void, in current usage, to keep away from, to shun; the word " avoid " is adapted from the O. Fr. esvuidier or dvider, to empty out, voide,
modern
  vide, empty, connected with Lat. vacuus), the action of making empty, void or null, hence, in law, invalidation, annulment (see
CONFESSION
  AND AVOIDANCE); also the becoming void or vacant, hence in ecclesiastical law a
term
  signifying the vacancy of a beneficethat it is void of an
incumbent
 . In general use, the word means the action of keeping away from anything, shunning or avoiding.
