Full moon is when we see the bright side of the Moon - the side illumined by the Sun. New moon is when we see the Moon's dark side.
We always see the same side, it may or may not be illuminated, depending on the position in its orbit relative to the earth and sun

Is it possible to have a new moon and a full moon in the same day?
No. The position the Moon has to be in for a full Moon is completely different than for a new moon. When we have a full Moon the Moon is on the opposite side of us to the Sun. When we have a new Moon, the Moon is on the same side of us as the Sun. It takes about 2 weeks for the Moon to go between those two positions, so it is not possible for it to happen on the same day.
