In Mathematics, a set is a collection of distinct entities regarded as a unit, being either individually specified or (more usually) satisfying specified conditions. An element is an entity that is a single member of a set.

0 is the identity element of a set such that 0 + x = x = x + 0 for all elements x in the set.
A set S of real numbers is called compact if every sequence in S has a subsequence that converges to an element again contained in S.
No, an empty set can't be the super set.The definition of super set is as follows:If A and B are sets, and every element of A is also an element of B, then B is the super set of A, denoted by B ⊇ A.Another way to interpret this is A ⊆ B, which means that "A is the subset of B".Suppose that ∅ is the super set. This implies:∅ ⊇ A [Which is not true! Contradiction!]Remember that ∅ and {∅} are two different sets. If we have {∅}, then there exists an element that belongs to that set since ∅ is contained in that set. On the other hand, ∅ doesn't have any element, including ∅.Therefore, an empty set can't be the super set.
The zero identity is defined in the context of a binary operation defined by addition over a set. It states that there is an element in the set, denoted by 0, such that for every element, X, in the set, 0 + X = X = X + 0. Addition in the set need not be commutative, but addition of 0 must be.
The identity property for addition is that there exists an element of the set, usually denoted by 0, such that for any element, X, in the set, X + 0 = X = 0 + X Similarly, the multiplicative identity, denoted by 1, is an element such that for any member, Y, of the set, Y * 1 = Y = 1 * Y
