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.
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.
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
Octahedral sites are larger than tetrahedral sites because octahedral sites have more space available for an atom or ion to occupy. This is because octahedral sites are formed by six atoms or ions arranged in an octahedral shape, while tetrahedral sites are formed by four atoms or ions arranged in a tetrahedral shape.
electron-pair geometry is octahedral with no LPs and the molecule geometry is octahedral
