In crystals, common polyhedral shapes include cubes, octahedra, and dodecahedra. These shapes are formed by the arrangement of atoms or ions within the crystal lattice structure.
This virus' image, using an electron microscope, shows an inclusion which appears to be similar to a nucleus. (Viruses have strands of RNA or DNA but no nucleus.) That is where the "nuclear" originates from. Polyhedral means that the virus has many sides. This is one of three shapes that viruses show. It affects the Wattle Bag Worm, the Korean Gypsy Moth, and cabbage leaves.
Minerals owe their colors to the elements that comprise them, or from impurities that make their way into the crystal lattice. Occasionally their color is derived from the effects of proximity to radioactive elements. Crystals are divided into six different classes. Every mineral will form crystals that occur in one of these six classes. The geometric shapes that comprise these different classes of crystals occur because of the preferred arrangement of atoms within the lattice framework of any particular mineral crystal.
what ddoes the crystals shape look like
because they form on rocks so they take over as in, grow inside causing them to look like bunches
Mineral crystal faces of varying luster and geometric shapes.
Viruses have different geometrical shapes, such as helical and polyhedral shapes. A particular polyhedral shape common to many viruses is a dodecahedron shape. This is a geometric shape that has 12 sides.
Spacecraft, spherical, crystal, and cylinder , and these are the 4 basic shapes of virus
Crystals form in the shapes of hexagons or six-sided prisms.
Crystals form in the shapes of hexagons or six-sided prisms.
The shapes are called crystals.
No, crystals can have various shapes depending on their chemical composition and the conditions in which they form. Common crystal shapes include cubic, hexagonal, prismatic, and needle-like forms. Crystals can also exhibit unique and complex shapes based on their atomic arrangement.

Crystals.
There cannot be an answer purely in terms of polyhedra since each one must have at least 4 faces. Once you allow non-polyhedral shapes, one possible answer is two spheres and a nonahedron.
I believe they are called crystals.
Salt Crystals can come in many forms, one such is a cubical formation.
Since there are infinitely many polyhedra, they alone will generate an infinite number of terms. Then there are non-polyhedral shapes such as spheres, spheroids, ellipsoids, toroids (doughnut shape) and lots of less well-known shapes.
