- Any polyhedron having eight plane faces
- In geometry, an octahedron (plural: octahedra) is a polyhedron with eight faces. A regular octahedron is a Platonic solid composed of eight equilateral triangles, four of which meet at each .
- Octahedron is the fifth full-length studio album by American progressive rock band The Mars Volta, released on June 23, 2009. The album was released by Warner Bros. Records in North America and Mercury Records worldwide. ...
- (octahedral) A molecular structural shape in which 6 atoms or groups of atoms are symmetrically arranged around a central atom. The positions of the 6 surrounding atoms define the vertices of an octahedron.
- (Octahedral) Octa- signifies eight, and -hedral relates to a surface, so octahedral almost literally means "eight surfaces." The bond angle is 90 degrees. An example of an octahedral molecule is sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
- (octahedral) relating to a geometric arrangement of six ligands equally distributed around a Lewis acid; literally, eight faces
- A solid figure contained by 8 equal and equilateral triangles.
- (n) A regular Platonic polyhedron consisting of 6 vertices, connected by 12 edges to form 8 triangular faces all with equal areas, angles and edge lengths.
- Any figure having eight sides or faces. In the case of a diamond, the diamond crystals that make a diamond are usually in the form of a Octahedron.
