Assuming that you mean opposites (rather than oppisites), the answer will depend on what kind of opposites: additive opposites or multiplicative opposites.

In the first case you have the same set as you started with: whole numbers.

In the second, you will have the set that consists of the union of

  • all whole numbers,
  • all unit fractions between -1 and +1. But, you have a problem with zero: its multiplicative opposite is not defined.
