Let R be a finite commutative ring with unity. The zero-divisor graph Γ ( R ) is defined such that its vertex set comprises all nonzero zero-divisors of R, with two distinct vertices being adjacent if and only if their product is zero. This study provides a closed-form expression for the n-eccentricity of each vertex and computes the Steiner antipodal number of Γ ( R ) under the following conditions: (ⅰ) R = Z m , (ⅱ) R is a reduced ring, and (ⅲ) R is a finite direct product of rings of the form Z m . Moreover, we establish the existence of a zero-divisor graph with a Steiner antipodal number equal to some positive integer m.
