Both Josef Loschmidt and Amedeo Avogadro contributed to our understanding of basic molecular numbers, sizes, and reaction ratios. Neither scientist discovered Avogadro's number in the form we use it today (6.02 x 10^23). Still, there's controversy over the name of this number. Research the contributions of these two scientists and how Avogadro's number got its name. Note the name you think this number should be called, provide key details about each scientist's contributions to this concept and give a solid rationale for your case in naming the number.​

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
