Is corrosive an acid or a base or both or neither?
Both. An acid and base can both be corrosive to the skin and other materials.
Is chlorine acid or alkaline?
Chlorine is an element; chlorine / chloride ion is a BASEChlorine for swimming pool usage is made to be Chlorine neutral (7,0) as to not raise or lower the pH.
Is corrosive a acid or a base?
Both acids and bases can be corrosive/caustic.
Is reactive with metals an acid or a base?
Acid. Its more corrosive. Base is in our soaps etc.
What happens to the corrosive properties of an acid and a base after they neutralize each other?
If an acid and a base completely neutralize each other, their corrosive properties will be nullified and the resulting solution would not be corrosive at all.

What base is chlorine?
Chlorine is a chemical element.
What is often corrosive a acid or base?
please help me
What happens to the corrosive properties of an acid and a base after they neutralise each other?
These corrosive properties disappear.
Why do we care if something is an acid or a base?
Strong acids and bases are corrosive and toxic.
Is HF a weak base?
No, it is a weak acid.Answer:HF (Hydrogen fluoride) or hydrofluoric acid when in soluton is a very corrosive acid.
Can chlorine act with bases?
Chlorine would be an acid, but you could neutralize it with a base such as lye.
What happens if you mix chlorine bleach and acid?
Chlorine bleach is a base so a base and an acid will give you a salt (or ionic compound) and water. In order to come up with the equation for the reaction, you would need the formula of chlorine bleach and of the acid you are reacting it with.
