Sure! Here are examples of both whole numbers and rational numbers:

### Whole Numbers
Whole numbers are non-negative integers, including zero. They do not include any fractions or decimals. Examples include:
- 0
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 10
- 25
- 100

### Rational Numbers
Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction of two integers, where the denominator is not zero. This includes integers, finite decimals, and repeating decimals. Examples include:
- \( \frac{1}{2} \) (which is 0.5 in decimal form)
- \( -3 \) (which is also \( \frac{-3}{1} \))
- \( 0.75 \) (which is \( \frac{3}{4} \))
- \( \frac{7}{3} \) (which is approximately 2.33 in decimal form)
- \( -0.666... \) (which is \( -\frac{2}{3} \))
- \( 5 \) (which can be expressed as \( \frac{5}{1} \))

### Summary
- **Whole Numbers**: 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
- **Rational Numbers**: \( \frac{1}{2} \), -3, 0.75, \( \frac{7}{3} \), -0.666..., 5
