Usually, but not necessarily. A logarithm that is not an integer-value is irrational. For example log10100 = 2 which is a rational number. log1012 = 1.0791812460476... which is an irrational number.
Because it's an irrational number, and that's what "irrational" means. There are lots of other irrational numbers, like the base of the natural logarithm e or the square root of 2.In fact, there are more irrational numbers than rational numbers. A lot more.Infinitely more, even. There are an infinite number of rational numbers, but the infinite number of irrational numbers is a higher infinity than the infinity of rational numbers.
There are an infinite number of irrational numbers. Here are some: e (the base for natural logarithms), pi, sqrt(2), sqrt(3), sqrt(5), square root of any number that is not a perfect square: perfect squares are 12 22 32 42 52 etc. which equals 1 4 9 16 25 ..... natural logarithm of any rational number (greater than zero) will be irrational. but not 1, since ln(1) = 0, which is not irrational. Note the logarithm of a negative number is a complex number, and the logarithm of zero is negative infinity.
The number is called e, and it is approximately equal to 2.718.
yes * * * * * No. Rational and irrational numbers are two DISJOINT subsets of the real numbers. That is, no rational number is irrational and no irrational is rational.

Rational.

They are irrational numbers!
They are numbers that are infinite
Domain of the logarithm function is the positive real numbers. Domain of exponential function is the real numbers.
Within the real numbers, the logarithm of negative numbers is not defined.
The square root of any number which is not a perfect square;The cube root of any number which is not a perfect cube;Pi, the circular constant.e, the natural logarithm base number.
The number is called e, and it is approximately equal to 2.718.
