Theorem	n0f 4295	A class is nonempty if and only if it has at least one element. Proposition 5.17(1) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 20. This version of n0 4299 requires only that 𝑥 not be free in, rather than not occur in, 𝐴. (Contributed by NM, 17-Oct-2003.)
⊢ Ⅎ𝑥𝐴    ⇒   ⊢ (𝐴 ≠ ∅ ↔ ∃𝑥 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴)
Theorem	eq0 4296*	A class is equal to the empty set if and only if it has no elements. Theorem 2 of [Suppes] p. 22. (Contributed by NM, 29-Aug-1993.) Avoid ax-11 2194, ax-12 2213. (Revised by GG and Steven Nguyen, 28-Jun-2024.) Avoid ax-8 2147, df-clel 2835. (Revised by GG, 6-Sep-2024.)
⊢ (𝐴 = ∅ ↔ ∀𝑥 ¬ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴)
Theorem	eq0ALT 4297*	Alternate proof of eq0 4296. Shorter, but requiring df-clel 2835, ax-8 2147. (Contributed by NM, 29-Aug-1993.) Avoid ax-11 2194, ax-12 2213. (Revised by GG and Steven Nguyen, 28-Jun-2024.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
