If you mean the set of non-negative integers ("whole numbers" is a bit ambiguous in this sense), it is closed under addition and multiplication. If you mean "integers", the set is closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication.
Yes. When you add any whole numbers you get another whole number. That is what closed means in this context. The answer is still a whole number.
There is no counterexample because the set of whole numbers is closed under addition (and subtraction).
They form a closed set under addition, subtraction or multiplication.
Yes because being closed under an operation means that when the operation is performed on members of a set the result is also a member of the set, and when any two [members of the set of] whole numbers are added together the result of the addition is also a whole number which is, unsurprisingly, a member of the set of whole numbers.
The numbers are not closed under addition because whole numbers, even integers, and natural numbers are closed.

The sum of any two whole numbers is a whole number.
certainly - the sum of two whole nos. is again a whole no.

I know that whole numbers, integers, negative numbers, positive numbers, and even numbers are. Anyone feel free to correct me.
A set of numbers is considered to be closed if and only if you take any 2 numbers and perform an operation on them, the answer will belong to the same set as the original numbers, than the set is closed under that operation. If you add any 2 real numbers, your answer will be a real number, so the real number set is closed under addition. If you divide any 2 whole numbers, your answer could be a repeating decimal, which is not a whole number, and is therefore not closed. As for 0 and 3, the most specific set they belong to is the whole numbers (0, 1, 2, 3...) If you add 0 and 3, your answer is 3, which is also a whole number. Therefore, yes 0 and 3 are closed under addition
The whole numbers are not closed under division! The statement is false since, for example, 2/3 is not a whole number.
The set of whole numbers is not closed under division (by non-zero whole numbers).
