	Octahedron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A regular octahedron is a Platonic solid composed of eight faces each of which is an equilateral triangle four of which meet at each vertex.
		The regular octahedron is a special kind of triangular antiprism and of square bipyramid, and is dual to the cube.
		The vertices of the octahedron lie at the midpoints of the edges of the tetrahedron, and in this sense it relates to the tetrahedron in the same way that the cuboctahedron and icosidodecahedron relate to the other Platonic solids.

		A regular octahedron and a cube are thus each symmetrical with respect to the following elements of symmetry: a centre of symmetry, thirteen axes of symmetry (of three kinds), and nine planes of symmetry (of two kinds).
		An octahedron thus consists of eight similar faces, and a cube is bounded by six faces all of which have the same surface characters, and parallel to each of which all the properties of the crystal are identical.

		Among the the Platonic and Archimedean solids the cuboctahedron is the only polyhedron inscribed in a sphere with radius equal to its edge (as the hexagon is the only regular polygon inscribed in a circle with radius egal to its side).
		We notice the poverty of the tetrahedron family: the tetrahedron truncated using the midpoints of the edges is the octahedron, the snub tetrahedron is the icosahedron, but the truncation using the thirds of the edges gives the truncated tetrahedron.
		Generalization to the non convex polyhedra: f + v = e + 2 - t where t is the number of tunnels of the polyhedron (its genus).

		This adds up to 8, instead of 9, because the regular octahedron happens to be counted twice (as a Platonic solid and a square dipyramid)...

		But in the middle of each of these eight sides-or rather aver the middle of it-hovers a single floating Carbon atom, floating out at right angles to the face of the triangle, pointing straight away from its centre.
