Computation of edge- and vertex-degree-based topological indices for tetrahedral sheets of clay minerals

Abstract

In terms of soil conditions, clay minerals infrequently occur as homogenous mixtures of single constituents, gatherings, stages, or types of minerals. Rather, they contain intricate arrays of essential minerals and rippling intermediates of numerous basic and synergistic mixtures. There is also the possibility that a discrete mineral grain is composed of more than one clay type or has sections that are intermediate amongst two chosen minerals. Such minerals are alluded to as inter-stratified or mixed-layer minerals. The structures of clay minerals are the most researched compound in contemporary materials science. Tetrahedral sheets of clay minerals (TSCM) are one of the most well-known structures concentrated in materials science. QSPR/QSAR of the TSCM compounds requires articulations for the topological characteristic of these substances. Topological descriptors are indispensable gadgets for exploring chemical substances to understand the basic geography or physical properties of such chemical structures. In this article, we determine the edge-vertex-degree and vertex-edge-degree topological indices for TSCM.
