The nullity $\eta=\eta(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the multiplicity of
the number zero in the spectrum of $G$. The chemical importance of
this graph-spectrum based invariant lies in the fact, that within the
H$\ddot{u}$ckel molecular orbital model, if $\eta(G)>0$ for the molecular graph
$G$, then the corresponding chemical compound is highly reactive and
unstable, or nonexistent. This chapter outlines both the chemically
relevant aspects of $\eta$ (most of which were obtained in the 1970s and
1980s) and the general mathematical results on $\eta$ obtained recently.
