The most likely use is in the phrase "elastic collision." It basically means that the atoms bounce off each other, without losing any of their combined kinetic energy in the process.

The collision between two helium atoms is perfectly elastic so that momentum is conserved?

In an elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. This means that the total momentum of the system before and after the collision remains the same. In the case of two helium atoms colliding elastically, the total momentum of the atoms before the collision will be equal to the total momentum of the atoms after the collision.

What is the source for elastic energy?

Elastic energy is stored in an object when it is deformed or stretched. This energy is due to the potential energy stored in the bonds between atoms or molecules within the object, which can be released when the object returns to its original shape.
