Entropy-Based Topological Characterization of Magnesium Silicide

Abstract

Chemical graph theory focuses on the physical features of
molecular structures using topological descriptors, where topological de
scriptors are mathematical formulas that represents a molecular structure
and can be applied to any graph. Chemical graph theory depends exten
sively on topological descriptors, particularly in relation with chemical
features of molecules. According to the structural characteristics of the
graphs implemented in their computation, they can be categorised. This
research paper focuses on several types of Zagreb descriptors for magne
sium silicide’s molecular structure. The structure denoted by (Mg2Si),
comprises of eight magnesium Mg and four silicon Si atoms. The struc
ture and shape of the molecular graph are commonly described by the
Zagreb indices. The significance of these indices in simulating the chemi
cal characteristics of the magnesium silicide network is emphasised in the
paper
