As, the edges have to be sorted first and it takes oe log e where it dominates the runtime for verifying whether the edge in consideration is a safe edge or not which would take o e log v. Therefore, in the algorithm the graph need not be connected. Prims algorithm time complexity is oelogv using binary heap. Runtime for kruskal algorithm is oe log e and not oe log v. A tree connects to another only and only if, it has the least cost among all available options and does not violate mst.
