Best Answer

A ball will bounce if the material it is made of has a high elasticity property. That is the property to return to its original shape when deformed. So when a falling ball hits a hard surface the force of the impact will slightly flatten the ball. This is deforming the ball and when the ball snaps back to its original shape there will be forces on the ball by the surface it is in contact with to push the ball back up.
