It is a vertex-degree-based topological index and is denoted by SO(G). This paper introduces a new matrix for a graph G, called the Sombor matrix, and defines a new variant of graph energy called Sombor energy ES(G) of a graph G. The striking feature of this new matrix is that it is related to well-known degree-based topological indices called forgotten indices. When ES(G) values of some molecules containing hetero atoms are correlated with their total πelectron energy, we got a good correlation with the correlation coefficient r = 0.976. Further, we found some bounds and characterizations on the largest eigenvalue of S(G) and Sombor energy of graphs.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Понятие индекса Сомбора SO(G) было недавно введено Гутманом в химическую теорию графов. Это топологический индекс, основанный на степени вершины, и он обозначается SO(G). В этой статье вводится новая матрица для графа G, называемая матрицей Сомбора, и определяется новый вариант энергии графа, называемый энергией Сомбора ES(G) графа G. Поразительной особенностью этой новой матрицы является то, что она хорошо связана с  известными топологическими индексами на основе степеней, называемыми забытыми индексами. Когда значения ES(G) некоторых молекул, содержащих гетероатомы, коррелируют с их полной энергией π-электронов, мы получили хорошую корреляцию с коэффициентом корреляции r = 0,976. Далее мы нашли некоторые оценки и характеристики наибольшего собственного значения S(G) и энергии Сомбора графов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>индекс Сомбора</kwd><kwd>энергия Сомбора</kwd><kwd>забытый индекс</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Sombor index</kwd><kwd>Sombor energy</kwd><kwd>forgotten index</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Boregowda H.S., Jummannaver R.B.
