2 properties of acid would be the sour taste and the reaction with some metals
Organic acids tend to have sharp tastes and strong odors.
All acids are divided into two groups. Organic acids and mineral acids. Organic acids are from nature (plants and animals) and mineral acids are made from chemists and scientists.
Basically the two types are 1- organic acids and 2- inorganic or mineral acids, organic are weak acids while mineral acids are usually strong acids.
why do we segregate inorganic acids from organic acids
Organic acids are weaker as compared to chloro substitued acids....... Organic acids<Monochlorosubstituted acids<Dichloro_____<Trichloro_____ :) Hope it's enough...
True organic acids are weak acids but alpha substituted acids may be strong as 'trichloric acetic acid is a very strong acid.

there are organic acids and inorganic acids
Waxes are esters formed by condensing organic fatty acids and long-chain (fatty) alcohols. So they contain organic acids, but are not acids themselves.

Amino acids contain both the amino (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups. Proteins are formed by amino acids.
One of the properties of an acid is that it will neutralize a base. Two more are that acids taste sour and that acids produce hydrogen ions when in an aqueous state.
Organic acids are acids that contain carbon. They are called caboxylic acids. Acids with hydrogen, oxygen and another compound are called oxoacids. More information can be found here: http://alpha.chem.umb.edu/chemistry/ch115/Mridula/documents/Namingacids.pdf
Yes, they are also organic acids.
