Abstract
For a finite group G, Γ(G), the intersection graph of G, is a simple graph whose vertices are all nontrivial proper subgroups of G and two distinct vertices H and K are adjacent when H ∩ K ≠ 1. In this paper, we classify all finite nonsimple groups whose intersection graphs have a leaf and also we discuss the characterizability of them using their intersection graphs.
