The moon phase when none of the lighted side can be seen is called a new moon. During this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, so the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated.

That's the 'Full Moon'.
the New Moon is difficult to see from the earth since the sunlit side of the moon is turned away from the earth.
