Is it possible to create a regular tesselation with a regular polygon?

Certain polygons, yes. Squares, Triangles and Hexagons are all shapes which, in their regular form, can tessellate.
Other polygons cannot.

It's possible to create a regular tesselation with a regular octagon?
No.
Is it possible to create a tesselation using only regular pentagons?
No because each interior angle is 108 degrees which is not a factor of 360 degrees
Why cant a regular pentagon be used to create a regular tessellation?
it can tessellate * * * * * NO IT CANNOT! A regular polygon can be used to create a regular tesselation if and only if its interior angle divides 360 degrees. The interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees, which does not divide 360 degrees so it cannot be used for a regular tesselation. . Three pentagons meeting at a point would cover 3*108 = 324 degrees - not enough to cover the 360 degrees at a point. Meanwhile 4 pentagons would cover 4*108 = 432 degrees - resulting in a 72 degree overlap.
Which polygon does not tessellate and why?
Most regular polygons will not - by themselves. In fact, of the regular polygons, only a triangle, square and hexagon will. No other regular polygon will create a regular tessellation. However, for polygons with any number of sides, there are irregular versions that can tessellate.
Is it possible to create a regular tessellation with a regular octagon and an equilateral triangle?
yes
It's possible to create a regular tesselation with a regular octagon?
No.
Is it possible to create a regular tessellation with a regular polygon?
Inly if the polygon has 3, 4 or 6 sides.
Is it possible to create a tesselation using only regular pentagons?
No because each interior angle is 108 degrees which is not a factor of 360 degrees
Which condition will not create a gap or an overlap at vertex of polygons?
You might be referring to what's called a tesselation of space. Tiles on a floor are one example of a tesselation: each tile is a polygon (a square most often) and when they are laid on the floor properly there are no gaps or overlaps. A honeycomb shows another kind of tesselation.

Which polygon will not tessellate a plane?
Most regular polygons will not - by themselves. In fact, of the regular polygons, only a triangle, square and hexagon will. No other regular polygon will create a regular tessellation.

yes
Can a pentagon and rectangle tessellate?
Suppose all the pentagon have two adjacent angles of 45 degrees, and three right angles. Create a line of pentagons with their bases aligned and their "odd" vertext facing upwards. Next create a second line of pentagons, inverted so as to meet the first line apex-to-apex. The gaps between these will be rectangular (square, in fact). It is thus possible to obtain a tessellation. No tesselation is possible with regular pentagons and rectangles.
