The price elasticty coefficient is fractional.
Yes, the demand curve is elastic in this region.
When supply and demand are perfectly elastic/inelastic
The demand curve would be perfectly elastic.
substitutes are unavailible
yes the demand curve is perfectly inelastic and horizontal
Yes, the demand curve is elastic in this region.
It is false that the steeper the demand curve the less elastic the demand curve. The steeper line is used in economics to indicate the inelastic demand curve.
When supply and demand are perfectly elastic/inelastic
The demand curve would be perfectly elastic.

elastic
This is the curve which shows the unitary elastic demand where the change in quantity demanded equals with the change in price.
Because it is basically curved shape, therefore, there are points/areas on the curve where the demand or supply will be elastic and on some other parts be inelastic. At the top of the curve, demand/supply tends to be inelastic and at the bottom of the curve, it tends to be elastic. Obviously, the more you go up the more we reach the perfectly inelastic demand/supply and the further you go down the curve, the more you reach the perfectly elastic demand/supply
A monopolistic competitor's demand curve is less elastic than apure competitor's which is less elastic than a pure monopolist's.
The shape of a unit elastic demand curve for a product is influenced by factors such as the availability of substitutes, the necessity of the product, and the proportion of income spent on the product.
A perfectly elastic demand curve means that the quantity demanded changes infinitely with a change in price, while a perfectly inelastic demand curve means that the quantity demanded remains constant regardless of price changes.
