No. The identity for multiplication is the number 1. If you multiply a number by 1, then the product is the original number.
If you multiply a number by zero, the product is zero, so the number has 'lost it's identity'

Why is 0 not a identity element for multiplication?
An Identity element in multiplication is one that when you multiply a value by the identity element, that the original value is returned. The only identity element in multiplication is 1. If you multiply any value (other than infinity which is a special case of mathematics), the value returned will be 0. The identity element for addition is 0.

The Identity Property of Multiplication?
The, "Identity Property Of Multiplication," is a number multiplied by one, produces the original number. Example: 51x1=51 : Identity Property Of Multiplication
What is the identity of element of multiplication?
There is no such thing as an "identity of element". The identity element of multiplication, on the other hand, is the number 1.
How are the identity properties of multiplication and addition different?
To start with, the identity element of multiplication is 1, that of addition is 0.

What are the identity elements for the addition and multiplication of rational numbers?
For addition, 0 and for multiplication, 1.
How are the Zero properties of addition and multiplication alike?
They are not! In addition, 0 is the identity with the following properties: x + 0 = x = 0 + x x + (-x) = 0 = (-x) + x The identity for multiplication is not 0 and so it does not have these properties.

Does the set of irrational numbers with the usual addition and multiplication form a field?
Strictly speaking, no, because the identity for addition 0, and the identity for multiplication, 1 are not irrationals.
What is the difference between the zero property of multiplication and the identity property of addition?
Usually, the identity of addition property is defined to be an axiom (which only specifies the existence of zero, not uniqueness), and the zero property of multiplication is a consequence of existence of zero, existence of an additive inverse, distributivity of multiplication over addition and associativity of addition. Proof of 0 * a = 0: 0 * a = (0 + 0) * a [additive identity] 0 * a = 0 * a + 0 * a [distributivity of multiplication over addition] 0 * a + (-(0 * a)) = (0 * a + 0 * a) + (-(0 * a)) [existence of additive inverse] 0 = (0 * a + 0 * a) + (-(0 * a)) [property of additive inverses] 0 = 0 * a + (0 * a + (-(0 * a))) [associativity of addition] 0 = 0 * a + 0 [property of additive inverses] 0 = 0 * a [additive identity] A similar proof works for a * 0 = 0 (with the other distributive law if commutativity of multiplication is not assumed).
What is 0 and 1 in identity property?
0 and 1 are both identity element. 0 is the identity element of addition and its called addend while 1 is the identity element of multiplication it is called factor it can be neither multiplier nor multiplicand.

What statement is an example of the Identity Property of Multiplication?
1 is the identity element of multiplication.
0 and 1 are not prime numbers but apparently they have their own special names what are they?
They both considered "identity elements". 0 is actually the identity element under addition for the real numbers, since if a is any real number, a + 0 = 0 + a = a. Mathematicians refers to 0 as the additive identity (or better said, the reflexive identity of addition). 1 is a separate and special entity called 'Unity' or 'Identity element'. 1 is actually the identity element under multiplication for the real numbers, since a x 1 = 1 x a = a. Mathematicians refers to 1 as the multiplicative identity (or better said, the reflex identity of multiplication).
