** Percent Composition by Mass **

6.7% Hydrogen 4.9% Nitrogen 16.8% Oxygen **
 * 71.% Carbon

**Percent Composition by Number of Atoms** 47.5 Hydrogen 2.5 Nitrogen 7.5 Oxygen**
 * 42.5 Carbon

**Type of bonding**
 * Covalent Bond **

**Chemical properties**
 * Chlorinating agents, PCl3,PCl5,and SOCl2 with codeine turns a-chlorocodide, into B-chlorocodide. Also through hydrolysis will yield to make three codeine isomers. The isomer isocodeine will create codeine and two isomers,allo-codeine and allo-pseudocodeine oxidize to create pseudocodeinone which will then turn into 3,4,8-trimethoxy-phenanthrene**
