A connected subset C of a topological space X with the following property: If \(\C_1 \subset X\) is a connected subset such that 
, then 
. The components of a space are disjoint. Every non-empty connected subset is contained in exactly one component. If C is a component of a space X and 
, then 
is a component of 
. If 
is a monotone continuous mapping onto, then 
is a component of 
if and only if 
is a component of 
.
