An elastic collision can be defined as a state where there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as the result of the collision. An inelastic collision can be defined as a type of collision where this is a loss of kinetic energy.

Answer:
ELASTIC COLLISION:-
The total kinetic energy is conserved.
Momentum does not change.
No conversion of energy takes place.
Highly unlikely in the real world as there is almost always a change in energy.
INELASTIC COLLISION:-
The total kinetic energy of the bodies at the beginning and the end of the collision is different.
Momentum changes.
Kinetic energy is changed into other energy such as sound or heat energy.
This is the normal form of collision in the real world.
