is experimental yield just the amount of the product that was left over (the residue)

i have 0.8 g of CuO left over, and the predicted amount was 0.72. we started out with 1 g of basic cupric carbonate...i dont understand how to figure this out

It's the percentage of the original solution that was left.
yield= (residue/original) *100

It's not always residue, keep that in mind, (it can be a solid, liquid, or gas)...it IS the product that was left over...well, the one the experiment wants you to look for and measure.

experimental yield is the amount of material obtained from a reaction

self explainatory, its what actrually came out of the experiment rather than the predicted amount
