A topological space $X$ is said to be \emph{normal} (or $T_4$) if for all disjoint closed sets $D,F\subseteq X$ there exist disjoint open sets $U$ and $V$ such that $C\subseteq U$ and $D\subseteq V$. A topological space $X$ is said to be \emph{normal} (or $T_4$) if for all disjoint closed sets $D,F\subseteq X$ there exist disjoint open sets $U$ and $V$ such that $C\subseteq U$ and $D\subseteq V$.
Some authors also require singletons to be closed as part of the definition (i.e. they require the space to be $T_1$ as well). Some authors also require singletons to be closed as part of the definition (i.e. they require the space to be $T_1$ as well).
