Treatment of an organic compound with hot, concentrated hydriodic acid(also known as the Zeisel analysis) yields CH3I, indicating the presence of methoxyl group (-OCH3). Unknown organic compound F (one of the opium alkaloids used in antispasmodic medicine whose formula is C19H21NO3) was treated with hot concentrated hydroidic acid to determine the number of methoxyl groups present in the molecule. When 7.12mg of compound F is treated with hydriodic acid and the CH3I thus formed is passed into alcoholic silver nitrate, 10.73mg of silver iodide is obtained. How many methoxyl groups per molecule of compound F would be indicated by the results of this Zeisel analysis?

Bond Parameters
Many factors decide the covalent bonding between atoms. Some of the bond parameters are bond angle, bond order, enthalpy, bond length, etc. These parameters decide what kind of bond will form in atoms. Hence it is crucial to understand these parameters in detail and understand how changing these parameters affects the kind of bonding or various characteristics.
Bond Dissociation Energy
The tendency of an atom to attract an electron is known as its electronegativity.
