Because for a number to be a square number it must have a number which when multiplied by it self=that number.
For example:
36 is a square number because 6x6=36
16 is a square number because 4x4=16
A negative number such as -16 is not a Square Number because -4x-4=16 not -16 because a negative times a negative is a positive. -4x4=-16 but these numbers aren't the same therefore -16 isn't a square number.
This is why negative numbers cant be Square Numbers
