Question

Elasticity is said to be internal property of matter. Explain.

✓

Answer

When a deforming force acts on a body, the atoms of the substance get displaced from their original positions. Due to this, the configuration of the body (substance) changes. The moment, the deforming force is removed, the atoms return to their original positions and hence the substance or body regains its original configuration. That is why, elasticity is said to be internal property of matter.
