Apart from zero (which is its own opposite), the opposites of whole numbers are also whole numbers. You have the set of whole numbers which is also known as the set of integers.
Zero is a natural number.
A decimal is a number out of a whole number that isn't zero or a fraction.
No, a whole number does not have to 0
Zero can be expressed as the sum of any two opposite mixed number.
Apart from zero (which is its own opposite), the opposites of whole numbers are also whole numbers. You have the set of whole numbers which is also known as the set of integers.
Zero does not have an opposite * * * * * While it is true that zero has no multiplicative opposite (or inverse), it certainly has an additive inverse, and that is also zero, since 0 + 0 = 0
If zero is added to a whole number the answer would be the whole number because zero is the same as nothing
if the opposite you are saying is the inverse, then the answer is no.
What exactly do you mean when you say "the opposite of a whole number" . . .
A number and its opposite,which add to zero.

Zero is both.
An integer is just a whole number, excluding zero. Any positive integer will always have an opposite just by placing a negative sign in front of the positive integer. You can also say that any negative whole number is an integer.
The additive opposite is itself and its multiplicative opposite is not defined.
