23. Note that the formation of some multicoordinated atoms is reversible, i.e., they can become fourfold coordinated when allowed to relax by removing all constraints. This is the case when the onset of multicoordinated atoms do not coincide with the elastic limit. Placticity, on the other hand, is determined by an irreversible formation of such atoms.
