Elasticity: Is the property of materials to recover their original shape after being deformed by an effort.
For example elastic bands, tires and latex or rubber gloves
Hardness: Is the property that indicates the opposition that offers a material to be scratched, penetrated or cut.
For example diamond, steel, window drill bits and circular saw blades to cut metals or wood
Tenacity: Is the property that some materials have to withstand forces and blows without breaking. It's the ability to shock resistance.
For example a hammer (made of wood and steel), a baseball bat or a bicycle helmet.
Fragility: Is the contrary property to tenacity. Fragile materials are easily broken when they receive hits or shocks.
