'EEPROM Data Address Width

I am beginner to electronics and embeds and I am struggling with some probably basic notation in EEPROM.I am using AT25640(64k(8192 x 8)) EEPROM and have confusion with data address width.

Array Addresses are from 0000-1FFF that means it has 2 Byte address width. is this correct or am i missing something here?

Thanks you.

According to the datasheet of the EEPROM, it can store about 8192 bytes. This means if you are going to define an int array let's say:

int theInt[6];

and a char array:

char theChar[6]="Hello";

both will have different sizes of bytes which you can get from sizeof() function easily. First one being 24, second being 26 bytes depending upon the compiler if I am correct.
