Question:
State whether the following statements are True or False.
(a) Organic compounds having different molecular formula, but same structural formula are called isomers.
(b) A salt is a compound formed by partial or complete replacement of the hydrogen ion of an acid by a metal or electropositive ion.

(b) A salt is a compound formed by partial or complete replacement of the hydrogen ion of an acid by a metal or electropositive ion.
Show Hint
Isomerism is like having the same set of Lego bricks (molecular formula) but building two different shapes (structural formula) with them!

Solution and Explanation
(a) False: Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
(b) True: This is the chemical definition of a salt. For example, replacing H^+ in H_2SO_4 with Na^+ gives NaHSO_4 (partial replacement) or Na_2SO_4 (complete replacement).
