Empty set

The empty set is the unique set that contains no element and is a subset of every other set. Its existence is postulated by the Axiom of empty set in the axioms of ZermeloâFraenkel set theory. Though this seems counterintuitive, the empty set is a subset of the empty set, and the empty set is disjoint with itself.
