What is octahedral?

Octahedral refers to a shape or structure that has eight faces, typically in the form of a regular polyhedron with eight triangular faces. It can also refer to a coordination geometry in chemistry where a central atom is surrounded by six atoms or groups of atoms located at the corners of an octahedron.

Octahedral is a three-dimensional shape with eight faces. Each face is an equilateral triangle. The octahedron has 12 edges and 6 vertices. It is one of the five Platonic solids, which are regular polyhedra.
