It's basic.
Bleach is basic as it contains sodium hypochlorite.
Bleach is an acid.
Bleach is basic, not acidic
Bleach is alkaline, most bleaches contain hypochlorite ions.
Liquid bleach is very basic (alkaline). The usual pH is around 12 or so.

No element is acidic or basic. Compounds are.
It isn't. the pH of Bleach is ~12.6, making it a highly basic substance. (Basic is the opposite end of the spectrum from acidic, but extremes of either are both dangerous.)
Weak base.A pH of 7 is considered neutral, any higher (7-14) is considered basic, lower (1-7) is considered acidic.
There are no acids in bleach. Bleach has a very basic pH (as opposed to acidic). By contrast, ammonia is acidic. There is not an easy way to tell by sight or smell whether something is an acid or base. There are other ways of determining this, such as Litmus paper or phenolphthalein.
A pH level of 7.0 is considered neutral (neither) and below that is acidic and above is basic. A pH of 10 is basic.
Bleach has a pH of approximately 13, therefore it would be very basic. Neutral would be a pH of 7, Acidic would be a pH <7, Basic is >7.
Usually water is considered neither acidic nor basic. It is neutral. But technically it is an amphoteric substance, meaning it has both acidic and basic properties.
