The word size is always 2^(n) n should be an integer.
2^n=28
n=5.2
So this is not a word size.
2^n=28
n=5.2
So this is not a word size.

4 bits is nibble
8 bits is byte
16 bits is word
32 bits is double word
and this word bits also depends upon machine

There is no specific number of bits for word. In general based on application it is considered like 16 bits as one word or 256bits as one word.

Word is combination of character and is character take 8bit so 28is not combination of 8bit.
So 28 is not word size.
So 28 is not word size.
