Describe strength

the ability of a material to stand up to forces being applied without it bending, breaking, shuttering or deforming in any way 

Describe elasticity

the ability of material to absorb force and flex in different directions, returning to its original position 

Describe plasticity

the ability of a material to be changed in shape permanently 

Describe ductility

the ability of a material to change shape usually by stretching along its length

Describe tensile strength

the ability of a material to stretch without breaking 

Describe malleability

the ability of a material to be reshaped in all directions without cracking  

Describe toughness

a  characteristic of a material that  does not break or shutter when receiving a blow or under a sudden shock  

Describe hardness

the ability of a material to resist scratching, wear and tear and indentation 

Describe conductivity

the ability of a material to conduct electricity
