Best Answer

An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. Some simple octahedra are

  • a regular octahedron (also known as a square-based dipyramid or triangular antiprism)
  • heptagon-based pyramid
  • hexagon-based prism.

So an octahedron is not a single shape.
