Is there a continuous function $f:B rightarrow BbbR$ which is one-one ?, where $B=(x,y) in BbbR^2: x^2+y^2 leq 1$
Suppose it were, then $f(B)=[a,b] subset BbbR$. So consider $z in B$ with $f(z) neq a,b$. Then $f(B setminus z)=[a,b] setminus f(z)$, we have a contradiction. since one is connected the other is not! Is this correct?
Any help?

It is correct, assuming you know that $f(B)$ is of the form $[a,b]$ with $a ne b$.
To show it, note that $B$ is compact and connected so $f(B)$ is also compact and connected in $mathbbR$. Hence $f(B)$ is a segment $[a,b]$. Since $f$ is injective and $B$ is uncountable, $f(B)$ cannot be a singleton so $a ne b$.
