Is the word whenever a noun?

No, "whenever" is not a noun. It is a subordinating conjunction.

Here's why:

* Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas.

* Subordinating conjunctions connect a dependent clause to an independent clause.

For example:

* Whenever the bell rings, the students get up. ("Whenever" connects the dependent clause "the bell rings" to the independent clause "the students get up.")
