Limestone is chemical; though in certain cases, limestone may be organic, when it is composed of the dead remains of organisms (fossils). That's called fossiliferous limestone, or fossil-rich limestone, but regular limestone is just chemical.

Difference between clastic rocks and non-clastic rocks?
Clastic rocks are sedimentary rocks consisting of bits and pieces of other rocks created by physical/mechanical weathering. Non-clastic are also sedimentary rocks; however are absent bits and pieces of other rocks and are formed through chemical processes (e.g. hydrolysis, evaporation, precipitation, oxidation) or form out of organic material (e.g. coal, chalk).
How do geologist classify sedimentary rocks?
They are classified as clastic or non-clastic. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from rock particles of various sizes. Non-clastic rocks are formed from precipitation of minerals out of solution or by the lithification of organic matter.

What type of rock is clastic and non-clastic?
Clastic sediments are sediments that have particles or pieces of rock (clasts) in them. The clasts can be of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rock. Non-clastic sediments are made up of dissolved minerals or organic matter.
