Abstract
A molecular/chemical graph is hydrogen depleted chemical structure in which vertices denote atoms and edges denote the
bonds. Topological descriptors are the numerical indices based on the topology of the atoms and their bonds (chemical
conformation, quaternary structure). They correlate various physico-chemical properties like boiling point, enthalpy of
formation, enthalpy of vaporization, Kovat’s constant etc., of various chemical compounds. Carbon nanotubes, a type of
fullerene, have potential in fields such as nanotechnology, electronics, optics, materials science and architecture. The
numerical parameters like inertia indices, signature and nullity attract much attention due to their diverse application in
chemistry e.g., nullity of a molecular graph is related to the stability of saturated hydrocarbons.In this paper, inertia indices,
signature and nullity of [TUC4 C8 (R)2m-1,2n-1] nanotube are strong-minded. We conclude that the positive and negative
inertia indices are equal for this nanotube and signature and nullity for this nanotube remain zero..
