Suppose an irrational number can be written precisely in decimal form, with n digits after the decimal point. Then if you multiply the decimal value by 10n you will get an integer, say k. Then the decimal representation is equivalent to k/10n, which is a ratio of two integers and so the number, by definition, is rational - not irrational.
Irrational numbers cannot be represented precisely in decimal form because they have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions. Unlike rational numbers, which can be expressed as a fraction of two integers and thus have either a finite or repeating decimal representation, irrational numbers go on infinitely without any repeating pattern. This intrinsic property makes it impossible to write them exactly in decimal form, as any finite or repeating decimal approximation can only be a close estimate, never an exact representation.
Because rational numbers aren't able to be notated precisely in decimal form. They don't stop.

Decimal numbers that can't be expressed as fractions are irrational numbers
They are the decimal numbers that can't be expressed as fractions.
No, irrational numbers can't be expressed as a terminating decimal.
All irrational numbers have decimal representations which are non-terminating.
Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers or as a repeating or terminating decimal.
Yes, However, it is not defined that way. It is defined as a number that cannot be expressed precisely as a ratio of two real numbers (a fraction). But that is equivalent to a non-repeating decimal.
Irrational numbers are decimal numbers that can't be expressed as fractions. An example is the square root of 2
But irrational numbers are decimals that can't be expressed as fractions
The difference is that rational numbers stay with the same numbers. Like the decimal 1.247247247247... While an irrational number is continuous but does not keep the same numbers. Like the decimal 1.123456789...
