No, not always. It depends on if the original biconditional statement is true. For example take the following biconditional statement:
x = 3 if and only if x2 = 9.
From this biconditional statement we can extract two conditional statements (hence why it is called a bicondional statement):
The Conditional Statement: If x = 3 then x2 = 9.
This statement is true. However, the second statement we can extract is called the converse.
The Converse: If x2=9 then x = 3.
This statement is false, because x could also equal -3. Since this is false, it makes the entire original biconditional statement false.
All it takes to prove that a statement is false is one counterexample.

Is the converse of a biconditional statement always true?
Yes
What the true biconditional statement that can be formed from the conditional statement If a number is divisible by 2 then it is even and its converse.?
The true biconditional statement that can be formed is: "A number is even if and only if it is divisible by 2." This statement combines both the original conditional ("If a number is divisible by 2, then it is even") and its converse ("If a number is even, then it is divisible by 2"), establishing that the two conditions are equivalent.

How does biconditional statement different from a conditional statement?
a condtional statement may be true or false but only in one direction a biconditional statement is true in both directions
What is proof by Converse?
Proof by Converse is a logical fallacy where one asserts that if the converse of a statement is true, then the original statement must also be true. However, this is not always the case as the converse of a statement may not always hold true even if the original statement is true. It is important to avoid this error in logical reasoning.
Choose the true biconditional statement that can be formed from the conditional statement If a natural number n is odd then n2 is odd and its converse.?
An integer n is odd if and only if n^2 is odd.
Is the converse of a true conditional statement always false?
No. Consider the statement "If I'm alive, then I'm not dead." That statement is true. The converse is "If I'm not dead, then I'm alive.", which is also true.
