Theorem	vn0ALT 4297	Alternate proof of vn0 4296. Shorter, but requiring df-clel 2808, ax-8 2115. (Contributed by NM, 11-Sep-2008.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ V ≠ ∅
Theorem	eq0f 4298	A class is equal to the empty set if and only if it has no elements. Theorem 2 of [Suppes] p. 22. (Contributed by BJ, 15-Jul-2021.)
⊢ Ⅎ𝑥𝐴    ⇒   ⊢ (𝐴 = ∅ ↔ ∀𝑥 ¬ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴)
Theorem	neq0f 4299	A class is not empty if and only if it has at least one element. Proposition 5.17(1) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 20. This version of neq0 4303 requires only that 𝑥 not be free in, rather than not occur in, 𝐴. (Contributed by BJ, 15-Jul-2021.)
⊢ Ⅎ𝑥𝐴    ⇒   ⊢ (¬ 𝐴 = ∅ ↔ ∃𝑥 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴)
Theorem	n0f 4300	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 4304 requires only that 𝑥 not be free in, rather than not occur in, 𝐴. (Contributed by NM, 17-Oct-2003.)
