Impulse-momentum theorem
Two reasons. Recall impulse is the change in momentum. First the momentum is a vector. So imagine a triangle. One side is the initial momentum (with one direction), the second side is the final momentum (with a potentially different direction) and the third side is the impulse (or change in momentum). The other way to look at this is in terms of what causes the change in momentum. This is how impulse is generally described. The impulse can be defined as the average force acting on the particle multiplied by the time interval over which the force acts. This is sometimes represented as the integral of the force. As force is a vector so is the impulse caused by this force.
An impulse is a change in momentum.
Impulse-momentum theorem
impulse = change in momentum so, no

Impulse-momentum theorem
Impulse is integral of linear momentum with respect to time, and in limits when that momentum was transferred.
The units for impulse are kg.m/s. This is because impulse= (final momentum) -(initial momentum) and the units for momentum are kg.m/s.
impulse (force x time) is equal to momentum (mass x velocity); Ft=mv
