An octahedral position for an (interstitial) atom is the space in the interstices between 6 regular atoms that form an octahedra.
Four regular atoms are positioned in a plane, the other two are in a symmetrical position just above or below. All spheres can be considered to be hard and touching each other.
The six spheres define a regular octahedra, in its interior there is a defined space for an interstitial atom, bordered by six spheres.
What else can I help you with?
Which interstial site is larger octahedral or tetrahedral?
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.

What is the structure of the octahedral complex of iron thiocyanate?
The octahedral complex of iron thiocyanate has an iron (Fe) ion at the center with six ligands surrounding it in an octahedral arrangement. Four of the ligands are thiocyanate ions (NCS-) while the remaining two are likely water molecules. The arrangement of ligands around the Fe ion forms an octahedral geometry.
Why carbon is more in FCC iron when compared to BC iron even though FCC iron structure has less void space?
In FCC iron, carbon atoms can occupy octahedral sites, contributing to solid solubility. BC iron has fewer octahedral sites available for carbon, limiting solid solubility. Therefore, more carbon can be accommodated in FCC iron despite having a smaller void space.
Is KrF4 sp3d2 octahedral square planar and nonpolar?
KrF4 is square planar with an octahedral electron geometry but square planar molecular geometry. It is a nonpolar molecule because the four fluorine atoms are arranged symmetrically around the central krypton atom, cancelling out any dipole moments.
Which interstial site is larger octahedral or tetrahedral?
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.
Why cubic structure has no octahedral and tetra hedral sites?
because???????????????????
Can a molecule be octahedral?
No. A molecule of octahedral shape is always non-polar

What is the difference between distorted octahedral and octahedral structure?
A distorted octahedral structure has a deviation from ideal octahedral symmetry due to factors like ligand size or electronic effects, leading to uneven bond lengths or angles. In contrast, an octahedral structure has perfect symmetry with all bond angles and lengths equal, like in the case of a central metal atom surrounded by six ligands.
What is the electron pair geometry around the central atom of SeF6?
electron pair geometry: octahedral molecular geometry: octahedral
Is diamond octahedral or tetrahedral?
Diamond has an octahedral structure, meaning it is composed of two interpenetrating face-centered cubic lattices.
What is the no of octahedral voids per atom in cubic close packed structure?
In a cubic close-packed structure, each atom is in contact with 12 nearest neighbors. Each of these atoms has an octahedral void at its center. Therefore, the number of octahedral voids per atom in a cubic close-packed structure is 12.
