No.

Closure under multiplication is a property of a set of numbers. It requires that if x and y are elements of the set (not necessarily different), then x*y is also an element of the set.

If the set consists only of the number 5, ie S = {5}. Since 5 belongs to S, closure would require that 5*5 belongs to the set. It clearly does not and so the set cannot be closed.

Is the set of odd numbers is closed under multiplication but is not under addition?

Let + (addition) be a binary operation on the set of odd numbers S. The set S is closed under + if for all a, b ϵ S, we also have a + b ϵ S. Let 3, 5 ϵ the set of odd numbers 3 + 5 = 8 (8 is not an odd number) Since 3 + 5 = 8 is not an element of the set of the odd numbers, the set of the odd numbers is not closed under addition.
