  Abstract:
Let R be a ring with nonzero identity. The unit graph of R, denoted by G(R), has its set of vertices equal to the set of all elements of R; distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if x+y is a unit of R. In this article, the basic properties of G(R) are investigated and some characterization results regarding connectedness, chromatic index, diameter, girth, and planarity of G(R) are given.
