Copper is ductile, but not overly elastic. Metals that elastically deform under a load will return to their original shape once the load has been removed, however if it plastically deforms the metal will not return to it's original position once the load has been removed. copper is a pretty ductile metal so it's more likely to plastically deform however there is a small amount of elasticity in copper. more elastic metals would be steels and especially spring steel. However other examples of elasticity outside that of metals is in rubbers and plastics as the elastic property usually results from long, chained molecules called polymers.

What is more elastic iron or rubber?

N0. The common belief is that if an object elongates easily the object is more elastic . But in Physics the object which gives more resistance to elongate is said to be more elastic . Such objects will have high Young's modulus . Steel is more elastic than copper . The Young's modulus for steel is 210 G Pa For copper it is 117 G Pa Elongation for steel is 35% and for copper it is 45% For rubber Young's modulus is 0.02 G Pa and elongation is 500 % During collision two clay balls will stick together. We call it inelastic collision . Two steel balls will rebound easily and the collision is elastic collision.
