A product with an elasticity greater than one is defined as elastic.
A product with an elasticity less than one is defined as inelastic. Generally, most necessesities will be considered inelastic.
Gasoline,
for example, is inelastic because no matter the price, consumers will continue to buy gas in droves.

Firstly collision is the strong interaction between the 2 bodies that results in the change of the momenta of the two bodies is collision.
Thus collision is of 2 types.
Elastic collision:: the collision in which both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved is called elastic collision.
Ex: collisions between atomic or subatomic particles.
Inelastic collision:: the collision in which only momentum is conserved is called inelastic collision.
Thus only momentum is conserved whereas no kinetic energy of the bodies is conserved.
Ex:: the collision between cricket ball and bat.
Hope this helps.
