Because any number divisible by 2 is not a Prime number, so any even no. is divisible by 2. Thus any number higher than 3 will be divisible by 2. Therefore the only consecutive prime nos. are 1, 2 and 3

Find all pairs of consecutive prime numbers?
The only two consecutive numbers that are both prime are 2 and 3. Since there are no other even prime numbers (other than 2), there are no more pairs of consecutive prime numbers. Therefore, the term "twin primes" usually refers to pairs of prime numbers that are 2 numbers apart. Examples are (3, 5), (5, 7), (11, 13), (101, 103), and many others more. It is not currently know whether there are infinitely many twin primes.

Is it impossible to find three consecutive odd numbers that are prime?
After (3, 5, 7), you can't have any more such "triplets", since one of the three must needs be a multiple of 3.
Pairs of odd consecutive prime numbers?
(3,5), (5,7), (11,13), (17,19) plus infinitely more.
What prime number between 60 and 80 is one more then the product of two factors that are consecutive numbers?

What are not examples of prime numbers?
Numbers that have more than two factors are not prime numbers because prime numbers have only two factors.
Do any consecutive prime numbers have a difference of 8?
There are many cases of prime numbers with a difference of 8, for example (3, 11), and (101, 109). Look at a list of prime numbers, and you will quickly find more examples. If you mean, without other prime numbers in between, I believe the first such pair is (89, 97). I am pretty sure you will find more - just look at a table of prime numbers.
