Gypsum is a mineral that is used in plaster-of-paris, wallboard, drywall, and alabaster.
gypsum is the greatest component in wall board
Drywall is known by many different names: sheetrock, gypsum board, and plaster board, to name a few. It's primary constituent is gypsum, which is a form of calcium sulphate. The gypsum is hydrated to form a sort of plaster and mixed with fibers, usually paper or fiberglass. Other stuff is added to waterproof and fireproof it.
No, gypsum has a natural fire resistance due to the combined molecules of water which it contains. National Gypsum has never used asbestos in its wallboard products. However, it did at one time use asbestos in some of its sprayed-on fire proofing products. That ingredient was removed from their formulation several decades ago.
Yes. 'SheetRock' is a particular brand name for gypsum board. I believe 'Drywall is, too.
4'x 8' is the most common size.
No, gypsum board is made from gypsum plaster and paper. Gypsum is a material very similar to school board chalk.
Depends on size of hole, but most common-caprpenter bees.
Type C gypsum board meets and exeeds the fire resistance requirements of a type x board. It has mineral additives in the gypsum core that expands when exposed to heat. This expansion holds the board together longer during fire exposure. It is referred to by the Gypsum Association as "Improved Type X" board.
That depends upon location. Tiles can be installed on a gypsum board wall or ceiling. (But make sure that the tiles are well grouted; if moisure gets past the tile into the gypsum board, it will be damaged.) Floors require greater strength - but then, you wouldn't normally have a gypsum board floor, with or without tile.
Gypsum is used for wall board.
gypsum is used in wall board Pop is not a building material
Gypsum board is mainly used for walls and ceilings and is known as drywall. Gypsum blocks are used similar to cement blocks in construction projects.
The most commonly used tool for cutting in gypsum board is a basic utility knife, the type that has a lock on the side and pop off blades.

No, gypsum is basically the same thing as school chalk. If you eat gypsum, you will probably just get constipated. This will probably have the opposite effect of the one you are looking for.
