Best Answer

in 8086 there is 20 bit address bus,so it can address 1,048,576 address.

At each address we can store 8 bit address (1-byte)but if want to write a word(16-bit)into a memory segment to store data in byte form then we write the data in two consecutive memory address which are even(low) and odd(high) memory.
