Normal space is a Hausdorff topological 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.
By the Urysohn lemma, any 2 disjoint, closed subsets of a normal space can be seperated by a continuous function. The converse also hold.
