Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage yield of a reaction , is given by the formula -

Percentage yield = (actual yield)/(theoretical yield) * 100

Actual yield = the exact amount of yield obtained from an experiment

Theoretical yield = the calculated yield of the experiment.

The denominator value i.e. theoretical yield can never exceed the numerator value , i.e. the actual yield ,

Hence,

percentage yield can never be more than 100% .
