A field has no non-zero divisors of zero.

    $begingroup$

    Note from the multiplication table, the one for the $cdot$ operation, that



    $2 cdot 2 = 0; tag 1$



    thus $2$ is nilpotent; but a field $F$ can have no non-zero nilpotents (note $2 ne 0$ since $3 + 2 = 1 ne 3$).



    If $F$ is a field and $a in F$ were nilpotent, that is, if



    $a^k = 0, ; 2 le k in Bbb N, tag 2$



    then



    $a = a^{1 - k} a^k = a^{1 - k} = 0; tag 3$



    which shows a field has no non-zero nilpotent elements.

      Did you mean $a = a^{1-k} a^k = a^{1-k} times 0 =0$ ?
