Who proved that it is impossible to give an explict system of axioms for all the properties of whole numbers?

In simple terms, Kurt Godel, showed that any axiomatic system must be incomplete. That is to say, it is possible to make a statement such that neither the statement nor its opposite can be proved using the axioms. I expect this is the correct answer though I believe that he proved it for ANY axiomatic system in mathematics - not specifically for whole numbers.

Is axiom or properties of real numbers the same?
No, they are not the same. Axioms cannot be proved, most properties can.
What is the difference between axiom and property in algebra?
properties are based on axioms
Does Godels Incompleteness Theorem imply axioms do not exist?
No, not at all. The Incompleteness Theorem is more like, that there will always be things that can't be proven. Further, it is impossible to find a complete and consistent set of axioms, meaning you can find an incomplete set of axioms, or an inconsistent set of axioms, but not both a complete and consistent set.

What are the five axioms in real numbers?
The five axioms, or postulates proposed by Peano are for the set of natural numbers: not real numbers. They are:Zero is a natural number.Every natural number has a successor in the natural numbers.Zero is not the successor of any natural number.If the successor of two natural numbers is the same, then the two original numbers are the same.If a set contains zero and the successor of every number is in the set, then the set contains the natural numbers.
Which are the natural numbers?
They are the non-negative integers or whole numbers: {0, 1, 2, 3, ... }Some people exclude 0 but Peano's axioms include it.
When was Peano axioms created?
Peano axioms was created in 1889.
When was Axioms - album - created?
Axioms - album - was created in 1999.
What are axioms in algebra called in geometry?
They are called axioms, not surprisingly!
Axioms must be proved using data?
Axioms cannot be proved.
Which are accepted without proof in a logical system?
axioms
What is the importance of set?
The simple answer is, everything in mathematics -- numbers, functions, relations, algebraic structures, geometric figures, infinite sequences and series, etc. -- can be defined in terms of sets. And their properties can be proved from the axioms of set theory. There's more to it than that, but that's a start.
