Abstract

The crystalline material that is greenish-white and dissolves in water is iron chloride. It is utilized in sewage treatment, dyeing, and medicine. Graph entropy plays a significant role in measuring the complexity of atoms, molecules, and structures in nature. It has specific chemical applications in biology, neuroscience, and chemistry. A compound's molecular structure consists of many atoms. Particularly, hydrocarbons are a chemical combination of hydrogen and carbon atoms. In this article, we discuss the entropy of the chemical structure Iron (II) Chloride. Additionally, we discuss the idea of degree-based indices and compute the Shannon entropy(ENT) using these indices. The linear regression(LR) of various indices and entropies for iron chloride, FeCl2, is also discussed. Also, we link the degree-based indices and entropies via line fit.
