Schur proved that if the center of a group G has finite index, then the derived subgroup G′ is also finite. Moneyhun proved that if L is a Lie algebra such that dim(L/Z(L)) = n, then dim(L^2) ≤1/2n(n-1) In this paper, we extend the converse of Moneyhun’s theorem. Also, we prove a wellknown result of nilpotent Lie algebras by using a different technique
