Abstract: The classical Cantor's intersection theorem states that in a complete metric space $X$, intersection of every decreasing sequence of nonempty closed bounded subsets, with diameter approaches zero, has exactly one point. In this article, we deal with decreasing sequences $K_n$ of nonempty closed bounded subsets of a metric space $X$, for which the Hausdorff distance $H(K_n,K_{n+1})$ tends to $0$, as well as for which the excess of $K_n$ over $Xsetminus{K}_n$ tends to $0$. We achieve nonempty intersection properties in metric spaces. The obtained results also provide partial generalizations of Cantor's theorem.
