Abstract
Let $M$ be an unital left module over a ring $R$ with unity. We define an undirected (\textit{nil graphs}) for the module $M$ as a graph whose vertex set is $M^*=M-{0}$ and any two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$, in these graphs, are adjacent if and only if there exist $r \in R$ such that $r^{2} (x+y) = 0$ and $r(x+y)\neq 0$. In this paper, we study the graph's adjacency, diameter, radius, and eulerian and hamiltonian properties. We also defined another nil graph $\Gamma^{*}_{N} (M)$, in which we reduced the vertex set to $N(M^*)$, set of all non-zero nil elements of the module, and keep the adjacency relation same as that of $\Gamma_{N} (M)$. We investigate the adjacency, diameter, radius, eulerian and hamiltonian properties of the graph $\Gamma^{*}_{N} (\mathbb{Z}_{p^n})$ and compare these properties among both the graphs.
