Who's is the contraction for the words 'who is'. Who's that girl?
Whose is a determiner pronoun. Whose book is that?
Whom is a pronoun used as a direct object or object of a preposition. To whom are you speaking?
You didn't ask about the pronoun who, but here is a helpful link:

This can be confusing because often 's is used to show possession - Ace's post, for example.
But that is not the case for who which becomes whose. (No it where the possessive is its, no apostrophe.)
