What is a disconnected graph?

A disconnected graph is a type of graph in which there are two or more separate components or subgraphs that have no connection or edge between them. In other words, a disconnected graph consists of multiple isolated groups of vertices that are not connected to each other. Each of these groups is called a connected component. These components can have any number of vertices and edges within them, but there are no edges that connect vertices from different components. Therefore, in a disconnected graph, it is not possible to travel from one component to another through a sequence of edges.
