No.. Because equivalence relation has to be reflexive, symmetric and transitive. Empty relation is symmetric and also transitive but not reflexive as no element will map to itself (assuming a non-empty set).

A $\phi$ (empty) relation on any set $A$ is not reflexive because for every $ a \in A$, $(a, a) \notin \phi$, but $\phi$ is a symmetric as well as transitive relation on $A$, how is that possible $?$
