Sometimes. The opposite of zero depends on the type of function under consideration. For example, the additive opposite of zero is zero. The multiplicative opposite is not defined.

Are natural numbers always sometimes are never whole numbers?

Natural numbers are always whole numbers. The set of natural numbers includes positive integers starting from 1 (1, 2, 3, ...), and sometimes, depending on the definition, it may also include 0. Whole numbers encompass all natural numbers along with 0, making every natural number a whole number. Therefore, the statement is that natural numbers are always whole numbers.
