What is the difference between percentage yield and atom economy?
Percentage yield is an experimental value calculated based on obtained results whereas atom economy is a theoretical value measured according to a balanced equation. Percentage yield shows the efficiency of the method used in terms of generating yield rather than the reaction itself whereas atom economy takes into account the reactants and products used to make the desired product.
