Amadeo Avogadro: (1779-1856)
“, . . . Now I came to Avogadro and said, All right, if I take the generalized concept of Avogadro all conditions of energy-- I didn’t say pressure and heat because I wanted to be much more inclusive-- so I said all the conditions of energy are identical. I said, What would I mean by that if I were using vectors? It would mean that all the vectors were the same length and it would mean that every one of them had at each of its terminals some convergence of the reactants and the resultants in which all the angles would be identical. Every vector would be the same and it would be connected up at both of its terminals with other vectors at which all the angles around it would always be the same.”
