/* Add a black background color to the top navigation */
.topnav {
overflow: hidden;
padding: 5px 10px;
color: black;
}
/* Style the links inside the navigation bar */
.topnav a {
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
float: left;
color: black;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 17px;
background-color: white;
}
/* Change the color of links on hover */
.topnav a:hover {
color: #ff726f;
}
/* Add a color to the active/current link */
.topnav a.active {
color: white;
}
<div class="topnav">
<a class="#" href="#">yes</a>

Your nav is spanning complete area which you can see in below snippet as the red background .
If you want nav links to span in both ends you can use display: flex; property with justify-content:space-between;
/* Add a black background color to the top navigation */
.topnav {
display: flex;
justify-content:space-between;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 5px 10px;
color: black;
background-color: red;
}
/* Style the links inside the navigation bar */
.topnav a {
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
float: left;
color: black;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 17px;
background-color: white;
}
/* Change the color of links on hover */
.topnav a:hover {
color: #ff726f;
}
/* Add a color to the active/current link */
.topnav a.active {
color: white;
}
<div class="topnav">
<a class="#" href="#">yes</a>
