First off it is spelled as follows tessellation a tessellation or tiling of a surface plane is a collection of objects or figures that fills the surface with no overlaps and no gaps. One may also speak of tessellations of the parts of the plane or of other surfaces.
Usually you see tessellations with mosiacs and collages and such where there is no remainder of space in the backround.

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.
Is a soccer ball a tessellation?
A soccer ball is not a tesselation because it is made of hexagons that do not connect and it is a ball. therefore it is not a tesselation
Can a trapezoid be used for a tesselation?
Yes they are not the most exciting but it can be done.
What are the square units that cover a shape called?
TilesAny shape can be covered with a number of similarly shaped figures such as triangles, this process is called tesselation.

What is the meaning of a word tesselation?
a tesselation is a group of shapes that is put togeter with no spacing.
Is a regular tesselation of squares a monohedral tesselation?
Yes it is.
What are the properties of a tesselation?
What is a tesselation? The answer is very basic. Tesselations are a shape, whether regular or unregular, placed in a repeated fashion. For example, hexagons, a regular shape, is placed in a tesselation, on a soccer ball. The properties of a tesselation, is that the same as, what is a tesselation? I guess the properties of a tesselation are just shapes or objects fitting into each other to form a tesselation. Hope it helped! By audreeso

What does it mean for shapes to tessellate?
Look up tesselation on google images, there are also different types of tesselation. Shapes connected together from left to right, or in rotations
Can a nine gon be a tesselation?
I do not know the answer. However, I think that for a shape to be able to be a tesselation, that the exterior angle of it must be a factor of 360. The exterior angle of a 9-gon is 40 degrees, and since 40 x 9 is 360, then yes, the 9-gon will work in a tesselation (there will be four of them that share one vertex). In fact, I have come to this solution (it's probably been discovered before): All regular poylygons can be formed into a tesselation. The number of individual shapes in the tesselation that share each vertex will be equal to the number of sides on each polygon.
Can a regular pentagon be used as the basic shape in a tesselation?
No.
What the word tesselation mean?
Tessellation is using multiple copies of one - or a few - basic shapes to cover a plane space without gaps or overlaps.
Can a trapezoid be used for a tesselation?
Yes they are not the most exciting but it can be done.
What is a pattern of shapes that leaves no room left over?
