4'x 8' is the most common size.
No, modern gypsum board does not contain asbestos.
Standard gypsum board comes in 4-feet by 8-feet sheets, with a thickness ranging from 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch. Special sizes may be available for specific applications.
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.
The main types of gypsum boards are regular gypsum board, fire-resistant gypsum board, moisture-resistant gypsum board, and impact-resistant gypsum board. Each type is specifically designed for different applications and environments.
Gypsum is used for wall board.

Cement board is more durable and water-resistant than gypsum board, making it suitable for areas prone to moisture like bathrooms and kitchens. Gypsum board is less durable but easier to work with and better for interior walls and ceilings in dry areas.
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.
The fire rating of 5/8 type X gypsum board is typically around 1 hour.
