Chlorine is neither organic nor an acid.
Chlorine is an element consisting of only chlorine atoms.
All acids are compounds.
An organic substance is a compound that contains the elements carbon and hydrogen bonded together.

∙ 13y agoNo, chlorine is an element, acids are a category of compounds.
It is a strong oxidizing agent, however.

Is chlorine oxide basic or acidic?
Yes, both sulfur oxides are acidic: with water they give sulfurous (weak -) and sulfuric (strong -) acids
Is chlorine gas an acidic or alkaline gas?
It is a neutral gas that bleaches damp litmus paper. Gases themselves are not acidic/alkaline, it is only when they are combined with hydrogen ions (Hence the damp litmus paper) that they become acidic/alkaline and in this case acidic.
Is non chlorine bleach acidic?
Yes it is. That's how it gets al the stains out; becaus eof the strong acid in it that burns away at the stains in white clothe. Hope this helped!
What effect does chlorine have on moist universal indicator?
Chlorine turns moist universal indicator paper red, then bleached. It has the same effect on blue litmus paper (red then bleached). this shows it is an acidic gas and so when reacts with sodium for example (an alkali metal) makes sodium chloride (salt).
What is free chlorine in a pool?
Free Chlorine is the Chlorine which is free to do its work in the pool, as opposed to Combined Chlorine which is chlorine that has combined with contaminants and is tied up and ineffective as a sanitizer in the pool. Sometimes you will see it abbreviated as FAC, which stands for Free Available Chlorine.
Is chlorine a basic anion or acidic anion?
It is neither acidic, nor basic. It even isn't an anion: element Chlorine is Cl2.
Is cl2o7 acidic or basic oxide?
It is acidic. It will lead to the formation of chlorous acid in water.
Is chlorine oxide basic or acidic?
Yes, both sulfur oxides are acidic: with water they give sulfurous (weak -) and sulfuric (strong -) acids
Is chlorine an acid or an alkiline?
Chlorine Cl2 is acidic in nature because it forms a mixture of HCl and HOCl in water.
Can chlorine react with a base?
Yes very easily and readily. Chlorine is very reactive and is considered an acidic gas.
Does chlorine gas mix with water to form an acidic solution?
yes chlorine and water will for HCL which is one of the strongest acids.
Does chlorine make pools more acidic?
It has litle effect on the pools acidity.
Do chlorine compounds change the chemical properties of pools making them more acidic?
Yes, it does.
What is the oxidation number of Cl2O7?
This oxide is a acidic gas. Chlorine shows the +7 number.
Is chlorine gas an acidic or alkaline gas?
It is a neutral gas that bleaches damp litmus paper. Gases themselves are not acidic/alkaline, it is only when they are combined with hydrogen ions (Hence the damp litmus paper) that they become acidic/alkaline and in this case acidic.
Is chlorine a base or acid is it a Corrosive element?
Chlorine is acidic in nature because in water its form a mixture of two acids HCl and HOCl and all the acids are corrosive so chlorine is a corrosive element.
Why dry chlorine is not acidic?
For being acidic, the compound should either release H+ ions, or accept OH- ions or electrons. Dry Cl2 doesn't satisfy any of the above conditions, so it is not acidic
