Octagonal antiprism. In geometry, an n-gonal antiprism or n-antiprism is a polyhedron composed of two parallel direct copies (not mirror images) of an n-sided polygon, connected by an alternating band of 2n triangles. They are represented by the Conway notation An. Antiprisms are a subclass of prismatoids, and are a (degenerate) type of snub ...
Square antiprism. In geometry, the square antiprism is the second in an infinite family of antiprisms formed by an even-numbered sequence of triangle sides closed by two polygon caps. It is also known as an anticube. [ 1 ] If all its faces are regular, it is a semiregular polyhedron or uniform polyhedron.
Hexagonal antiprism. In geometry, the hexagonal antiprism is the 4th in an infinite set of antiprisms formed by an even-numbered sequence of triangle sides closed by two polygon caps. Antiprisms are similar to prisms except the bases are twisted relative to each other, and that the side faces are triangles, rather than quadrilaterals.
A pentagonal antiprismatic prism or pentagonal antiduoprism is a convex uniform 4-polytope. It is formed as two parallel pentagonal antiprisms connected by cubes and triangular prisms. The symmetry of a pentagonal antiprismatic prism is [10,2 + ,2], order 40. It has 20 triangle, 20 square and 4 pentagonal faces. It has 50 edges, and 20 vertices.
μ (Polarity) 0. In chemistry, the square antiprismatic molecular geometry describes the shape of compounds where eight atoms, groups of atoms, or ligands are arranged around a central atom, defining the vertices of a square antiprism. [1] This shape has D 4d symmetry and is one of the three common shapes for octacoordinate transition metal ...
Grand antiprism. A net showing two disjoint rings of 10 antiprisms. 200 tetrahedra (yellow) are in face contact with the antiprisms and 100 tetrahedra (red) contact only other tetrahedra. In geometry, the grand antiprism or pentagonal double antiprismoid is a uniform 4-polytope (4-dimensional uniform polytope) bounded by 320 cells: 20 ...
Pentagonal antiprism. In geometry, the pentagonal antiprism is the third in an infinite set of antiprisms formed by an even-numbered sequence of triangle sides closed by two polygon caps. It consists of two pentagons joined to each other by a ring of ten triangles for a total of twelve faces. Hence, it is a non-regular dodecahedron .
Prismatic compound of antiprisms. In geometry, a prismatic compound of antiprism is a category of uniform polyhedron compound. Each member of this infinite family of uniform polyhedron compounds is a symmetric arrangement of antiprisms sharing a common axis of rotational symmetry.
