Avogadro’s hypothesis is “Equal volumes of all gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure have the same number of molecules.” Suppose we replaced ‘molecules’ by ‘atoms’ in this hypothesis. (By atoms we refer to indivisible entities in chemical reactions, unlike molecules, which can split into atoms). Would the modified hypothesis be correct?

Solution
No. The modified hypothesis would not be correct. This is because atoms are not indivisible or elementary.
