When 2 objects collide....why do they break?(instead of sticking together, blending together, passing through each other, or bouncing off - consider each scenario)

If you explain each scenario in detail...it should answer my doubts about elasticity, conservation, Fund. Forces, and How chemical principles work.

Thanks.
