Avogadro constant - I can accept the number, if someone can show me how, over a hundred years ago, without having every really seen a molecule, this number could be derived. Obviously no one ever sat there and counted them but I find it hard to believe, they could have decided this without being able to see it.

Here's how to estimate the size of an oil molecule just using water and an oil drop: https://spark.iop.org/estimating-size-molecule-using-oil-fil...

(They use some other stuff, but you get the idea)

You can back out Avogadro constant starting with this experiment.

Thank you. I do get the idea. And now I can go back and finish High School chemistry. I appreciate you help in understanding this.
