Elasticity is the ratio of the % change in quantity to the % change in price. So if the two are identical, than it is said to be unitary elastic. If quantity changes more than price, then it is said to be elastic. If the quantity changes less than price, then it is said to be inelastic.
The relationship between the supply and demand for a good (or service) and changes in price is called elasticity. Goods that are inelastic are relatively insensitive to changes in price, whereas elastic goods are very responsive to price. A classic example of an inelastic good (at least in the short term) is energy.
