Rational numbers cannot **be square roots of non-perfect squares**.
Rational numbers are defined as numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (where the denominator is not zero), and their decimal representations either terminate or repeat. The square root of a non-perfect square is an irrational number.
