Homework Statement
This is a rather conceptual question, but is there a difference between elasticity and young's modulus? I know that the young's modulus can also be stated as the modulus of elasticity, but is it incorrect to say that a substance with a higher young's modulus has a low elasticity? Or should it be that a substance with a very high young's modulus has high elasticity? Are they merely synonyms?
Homework Equations
Young's modulus = stress/strain
The Attempt at a Solution
I am assuming that a high young's modulus equates to lower elasticity.
