Atom Economy

Atom economy , which describes the conversion efficiency of a chemical process in terms of all atoms involved . In an ideal chemical process the amount of starting materials or reactants equals the amount of all products generated (see stoichiometry ) and no atom is wasted. Recent developments like high raw material (such as petrochemicals) costs and increased sensitivity to environmental concerns have made atom economical approaches more popular. Atom economy is an important concept of green chemistry philosophy. It is a beautiful proof of how nature naturally is at the very bottom of it. It's a rule even we follow at some time too.
