The Dedekind-Peano axioms form the basis for the axiomatic system of numbers. According to the first axiom, zero is a natural number. That suggests that the question refers to some alternative, non-standard definition of natural numbers.
Whole numbers include 0,1,2,3.... Natural numbers are the same numbers, excluding zero.
Whole numbers and natural numbers are the exact same, except that whole numbers include zero
Natural numbers are the set of positive integers starting from 1 and extending infinitely (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...). On the other hand, whole numbers include zero along with the set of natural numbers (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...). Therefore, the main difference is that whole numbers include zero, whereas natural numbers do not.
Negative integers are whole numbers but not natural numbers. Mathematicians are undecided about zero. It is a whole number: some believe zero is a natural number, others do not.
Yes, because natural numbers are your counting numbers (1,2,3,4...) Whole numbers are natural numbers and zero (0,1,2,3...) and integers are all of the natural numbers and their opposites and zero (...-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3...).

the set of whole numbers include zero but the natural numbers do not? true or false
Zero is a member of the set of whole numbers. Some people include it in the set of natural numbers, some people don't.
The only difference is that whole numbers include 0 (zero), while natural numbers start with 1 (one). That's it!

Whole numbers are the set of natural or counting numbers inclding zero
Zero
"Smallest prime" would usually be taken as the number 2."Smallest whole number" is more problematic, since "whole number" may refer to any of the following:The set of integers (in this case, there is no smallest whole number)Natural numbers, including zero (0, 1, 2, 3...)Natural numbers, excluding zero (1, 2, 3, 4, ...)Even the term "natural numbers" may or may not include zero. Traditionally it doesn't include zero, but according to the Wikipedia article on natural numbers, "There is no universal agreement about whether to include zero in the set of natural numbers".Because of this ambiguity, it is better to avoid the use of the term "whole number", and instead use more specific terms, for example, "integers", "positive whole numbers" and "non-negative whole numbers".
