It is not hard to check that d is a metric on x, usually referred to as the discrete metric. Theorem the following holds true for the open subsets of a metric space x,d. A metric space x,d is complete if and only if every nested sequence of nonempty closed subset of x, whose diameter tends to zero, has a nonempty intersection. Also any subset of a metric space is a metric space. A metric space x is sequentially compact if every sequence of points in x has a convergent subsequence converging to a point in x. In general, most subsets of a metric space are neither open nor closed. An open interval 0, 1 is an open set in r with its usual metric.
Connectedness is one of the principal topological properties that are used to distinguish topological spaces a subset of a topological space x is a connected set if it is a connected. A point is exterior if and only if an open ball around it is entirely outside the set. For example, the set of numbers 0, 1 is not open when considered as a subset of the real line because any open interval about the point 0 contains points not in 0, 1. Then each point of k would have a neighborhood containing at most one point q of e. The reader is asked to prove this proposition in exercises 15.

Show that if fxgare open sets in x for all points x2x, then all subsets of x are also open in x. An open sets family of a metric space is defined next and it has been shown that the metric space with any open sets family is a topological space.
