Identity element Identity element In mathematics, an identity element or neutral element is a special type of element of a set with respect to a binary operation on that set, which leaves other elements unchanged when combined with them. This concept is used in algebraic structures such as groups and rings. The term "identity element" is often shortened to "identity" (as will be done in this article) when there is no possibility of confusion, but the identity implicitly depends on the binary operation it is associated with. Let be a set with a binary operation ∗ on it. Then an element of
