Abstract
Let be a ring with unity. The non-zero divisor graph of , , is the graph with vertex set , and two vertices and are adjacent if and only if either or is non-zero. In this article we associate to the ring of Hamilton quaternions over , . The detailed structure of the elements in is presented, based on which various structural properties of the graph , such as connectedness, adjacency of vertices, traversability, and planarity, are studied. Furthermore, we derive bounds for clique number and chromatic number.
