Hi!
Malleability is the property of a material to flatten or bend without breaking.
Elasticity is the property of a material to deform and subsequently regain its shape.
Ductility is the property of a material to stretch without breaking.
All three are resistant to breakage, but only the elasticity allows it to return to its original shape.
I hope that answers your question! Do not hesitate to come back to see us!
