Abstract: We determine the conditions for matrix centralizers which can guarantee the connectedness of the commuting graph for the full matrix algebra ▫$M_n(\mathbb{F})$▫ over an arbitrary field ▫$\mathbb{F}$▫. It is known that if ▫$\mathbb{F}$▫ is an algebraically closed field and ▫$n \ge 3$▫, then the diameter of the commuting graph of ▫$M_n(\mathbb{F})$▫ is always equal to four. We construct a concrete example showing that if ▫$\mathbb{F}$▫ is not algebraically closed, then the commuting graph of ▫$M_n(\mathbb{F})$▫ can be connected with the diameter at least five.
