Explanation:

Elasticity: 

  • When an external force acts on the body, the body tends to undergo some deformation. If the external force is removed, then the body comes back to its original shape and size, the body is known as an elastic body and this property is called elasticity.

Plasticity: 

  • A plastic material does not regain its original shape after the removal of load. An elastic material regains its original shape after the removal of load.

Ductility: 

  • A property by virtue of which the substance can be drawn into a wire is called a ductile substance.

Hardness: 

  • The hardness of the material can be defined as the property of a material which resists scratching or indentation or wear.
  • There is no absolute scale to measure the hardness of a material. 
  • So the hardness values are expressed generally in terms of scale associated with a particular test
