A graph is split if there is a partition of its vertex set into a clique and an independent set. The present paper is devoted to the splitness of some graphs related to finite simple groups, namely, prime graphs and solvable graphs, and their compact forms. It is proved that the compact form of the prime graph of any finite simple group is split.
We refer to the set of the orders of elements of a finite group as its spectrum and say that finite groups are isospectral if their spectra coincide. In the paper we determine all finite groups isospectral to the simple groups $S_6(q)$, $O_7(q)$, and $O_8^+(q)$. In particular, we prove that with just four exceptions, every such a finite group is an extension of the initial simple group by a (possibly trivial) field automorphism.
