The primary difference between, elastic and inelastic collisions is, in elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved and in inelastic collisions, kinetic energy is not conserved. ... In inelastic collisions, a part of the kinetic energy is used in the deformation of the bodies.

Elastic collision : The collisions in which both momentum and kinetic energy of the system are conserved are called elastic collision.
Inelastic collision : The collisions in which momentum of the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved are called Inelastic collision.
