Empty tag doesn't have any closing tag, and if you include them, it'll result in error.

Answer 4

The name may be confusing, since empty tags are not exactly empty. For sake of comparison:

EMPTY tag: <img src="my_img.png width="500" height="600">

Notice that all information you've got there relates to the image that will appear on your user's screen. This is considered an "empty" tag. Now compare to the following container tag.

<p> whatever text </p>

You need to close this paragraph tag with the </p>, otherwise your code will get all messy. This is a container tag; the information goes between an opening tag (<p>) and a closing tag (</p>).
