To apply the properties of integer exponents, we can rewrite the expression 2^2/2 - 4 as (2^2)^(1/2) - 2^2.
Applying the property of distributing exponents, we have (2^(2*(1/2))) - 2^2.
Simplifying further, we get 2^1 - 2^2.
Finally, evaluating the exponents, we have 2 - 4 = -2.
Since we need to provide the solution as a whole number, we round -2 to the nearest whole number, which is -2.
