A '''Normal space''' is a [[Hausdorff space]] in which, given any pair of disjoint closed sets E and F, there exist neighbourhoods U of E and V of F that are disjoint. A product of normal spaces is not necessarily normal, the [[Sorgenfrey plane]] is an example of a product of normal spaces that is not normal. On the other hand, every regular space with a countable basis is normal. Every subspace of a normal space is a [[completely regular space]]. A normal space which is also T<sub>1</sub> is called T<sub>4</sub>. | A '''Normal space''' is a [[Hausdorff space]] in which, given any pair of disjoint closed sets E and F, there exist neighbourhoods U of E and V of F that are disjoint.
