Eight sided.....
An octahedral void is called "octahedral" because its shape resembles an octahedron, which is a polyhedron with eight triangular faces. In a crystal lattice, these voids are formed at the center of an octahedral arrangement of atoms, where six atoms are positioned at the corners of the octahedron. This geometric configuration allows for efficient packing and coordination of atoms in a crystalline structure. The term reflects both the shape and the spatial arrangement of the surrounding atoms.

In the interior there is one octahedral hole for every sphere.
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is considered an octahedral molecule due to its geometric arrangement of atoms. In SF6, the central sulfur atom is surrounded by six fluorine atoms, which are positioned at the corners of an octahedron. This arrangement minimizes electron pair repulsion according to VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory, leading to a symmetrical, octahedral shape. The bond angles in an octahedral molecule are 90 degrees, contributing to its characteristic geometry.
Eight numbers.
Octahedral structures are found in the study of molecular geometry. In an octahedral structure there are fifteen angles; twelve ninety degree angles and three one-hundred and eighty degree angles.
A diamond typically has 8 corners, also known as vertices. This is characteristic of the most common diamond cut, the round brilliant cut, which features 57 facets, including the table and the culet. Other cuts may have different configurations, but the octahedral structure of a diamond inherently includes 8 corners.
No. A molecule of octahedral shape is always non-polar
There are no holes in the body-centered cubic (BCC) structure, as it consists of atoms positioned at the corners and one atom at the center of the cube.
As many corners as sides.
Yes. it has a pseudo octahedral geometry in XeF6
