TaigaNo, not all numbers that have a 2 in the ones place are composite numbers. A composite number is a positive integer greater than 1 that has more than two distinct positive divisors. For example, the number 2 is a Prime number, as it only has two distinct positive divisors (1 and 2). So, any number that ends in a 2 but has only two distinct positive divisors is a prime number, not a composite number.
Well, honey, not all numbers with a 2 in the ones place are composite. Take the number 2, for example - it's as prime as they come! But yeah, most numbers with a 2 in the ones place are composite because they can be divided by more than just 1 and themselves. So, watch out for those sneaky little multiples, darlin'.

Are all numbers with a 0 in the ones place a composite numbers?
Yes. All numbers with 0 in the one's column are composite, having at least the factors of 1, 2, 5, and itself. The number 0 is also composite, having all numbers as factors.
Are all numbers that have 2 in the ones place composite?
Yes except for 2 on its own which is the only even prime number
Why are all whole number with 5 in the ones place composite?
All whole numbers with 5 in the ones place are composite because they can be divided evenly by 5 and 1, which are factors other than 1 and the number itself. For example, the number 15 can be divided by 1, 3, 5, and 15. This property of being divisible by factors other than 1 and itself is what defines a composite number.
Are composite numbers even numbers?
Not all composite numbers are even, but all even numbers except 2 are composite.
What digits might composite numbers greater than 10 have in the ones place. 12345.?
Composite numbers can have any digit in the ones place: All multiples of 3 greater than 10 will be composite numbers (the first one being 3×4 = 12). The last digit of the multiples of 3 follow the pattern (starting at 12, ending at 39): {2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0, 3, 6, 9} which includes all the digits {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}. Thus the last digit of composite numbers greater than 10 can contain any digit.
