You can, and people often do this to cut cholesterol and fat from their diets. Egg whites alone still possess the coagulant properties associated with eggs, but they do lack the flavor, color, and richness found in the yolk. I would recommend using part whole eggs, part egg whites to find a compromise between the two.

If a recipe calls for "2 eggs," it means THE WHOLE EGG. If they want you to use the egg yolk only, it will say, "add the yolk of 2 eggs."

Why it is important to use a particularly clean bowl when whisking egg whites to make a meringue?

Any bowl or utensil that is used when beating egg whites has to be perfectly clean and grease-free. When air is beaten into egg whites, the proteins of the egg white open up, which makes the whites form a semi-solid. If there are any lipids introduced into the egg whites they prevent the whites from forming a semi-solid state by surrounding the proteins of the egg whites and preventing the proteins from opening.
