Restart
RST 0-7 The RST instruction is equivalent to a 1-byte call instruction
to one of eight memory locations depending upon the number.
The instructions are generally used in conjunction with
interrupts and inserted using external hardware. However
these can be used as software instructions in a program to
transfer program execution to one of the eight locations. The
addresses are:

Manual coding of 8086 is difficult hence we use a assembler or a compiler. Note that the microprocessor should be able to interpret your discussions via the program. Suppose if the instruction corresponds to word(16 bits), we use assembler directive WORD PTR, but when assembler is contacting the processor it sets a bit called 'w' indicating its a byte operation.

It depends on the specific instruction set for the processor you are programming. Most processors will support the basic logical instructions, but you would have to view the documentation for a particular processor to know for sure.
The input data is processed by the CPU (Central Processing Unit) According to the set of instructions given by the user. The set of instructions is known as program.
there are 74 instruction sets in the 8085 up which consist of 246 bit pattern.
The 8085 instruction set is classified into three groups according to its Word size. They are 1. One word /1 byte instructions 2. Two word / 2 byte instructions 3. Three word / 3 byte instructions

RISC
RIM stands for read interrupt mask and SIM stands for set interrupt mask.The SIM instruction is used to copy the contents of the accumulator into the interrupt mask.The RIM instruction is used to interpret the RST interrupt positions.
No. They have a different instruction set. However, the processors are sufficiently similar that an 8086 assembler could assemble an 8085 program, given appropriate constants and macros. Some things, however, such as RIM, SIM, RST, etc. do not have equivalents in the 8086.
it has an instruction set of a few hundred instructions.
There are binary patterns which when present on a microprocessor's input register, cause a fixed set of switching to occur within the processor, across a defined number of clock cycles. They comprise the instructions which cause the microprocessor to do things.

The 8085 instruction set is classified into the following three groups according to word size: 1. One-word or 1-byte instructions 2. Two-word or 2-byte instructions 3. Three-word or 3-byte instructions
the advantages of 8086 microprocessor over 8085A microprocessor is that 1)it is a 16 bit microprocessor 2)the disadvantages in 8085A microprocessor like low speed,limited number of registers,low memory addressing capability,less powerful instruction set have been overcome in 8086 registers
An instruction is a command to the microprocessor to perform a given task on specified data. Each instruction has two parts: One is task to be performed,called the operation code (opcode). Second is the data to be operated on, called the operand. It can be specified in various ways,it may include 8bit/16bit data, an internal register, a memory location , or 8bit/16bit address. In some instructions, the operand is implicit. The 8085 instruction set is classified into three groups according to Word size. They are- 1. One word / 1 byte instructions 2. Ttwo word / 2byte instructions 3. Three word / 3byte instructions
