Abstract
Seven polyhedra with eight vertices were described in Chap. 2. With the exception of the cube which is a regular polyhedron, all polyhedra will distort by decreasing the size of the larger faces, and in the case of the non-uniform and chemical coordination polyhedra, by placing all vertices on the surface of a sphere. The resulting bicapped trigonal prism then becomes identical to the square antiprism.
