icosahedrální

Icosahedrální is an adjective derived from the noun icosahedron, which refers to a polyhedron with twenty faces. The term "icosahedrální" is used to describe something that has the shape or properties of an icosahedron. In geometry, an icosahedron is a regular polyhedron with 20 identical equilateral triangular faces, 30 edges, and 12 vertices. It is one of the five Platonic solids, which are convex polyhedra with identical faces.

The icosahedron is notable for its symmetrical properties and has applications in various fields, including mathematics, crystallography, and molecular chemistry. In crystallography, the icosahedral crystal system is characterized by its icosahedral symmetry, which is less common than cubic or hexagonal symmetries. In molecular chemistry, icosahedral structures are found in some viral capsids and fullerenes, such as buckminsterfullerene (C60).

The term "icosahedrální" can also be used metaphorically to describe structures or systems that exhibit similar properties to an icosahedron, such as having a high degree of symmetry or being composed of twenty identical parts. For example, an organization with an icosahedrální structure might have twenty equal departments or divisions, each with similar functions and responsibilities.
