Enrico Fermi was the youngest of three children born in 1901 on September 29 in Rome, Italy (Lichello 5). He was born to Alberto Fermi and Ida de Gattis and had a sister Maria and …show more content…
When he was there, he was reunited with his friend Franco Rasetti in which they spent their time on the famous Arcetri hill trying to catch lizards to be dropped on country girls. When he spent his time on the hill, he solved a great physics problem for the first time which was the theoretical hypothesis of a “perfect” gas that would be composed of independent atoms. In 1926, he published a paper on “The Quantivalence of a Perfect Mono-atomic Gas”, in which stated his contribution that atoms do not have the same energies as one another. It is also known as the “Fermi-Dirac statistic” (Latil 29-31). It later became known as “Fermi statistics which governed the particles subject to Pauli’s exclusion principle (“Enrico Fermi” Atomic Heritage Foundation). Then in 1927, Fermi applied his method to the electrons that revolved around the nucleus which created a simple model of the atom and allowed atomic properties to be taken into account (Latil
