toBe versus toEqual

Why does the first assertion fail while the second passes?

expect({ id: 1, name: 'Pen' }).toBe({ id: 1, name: 'Pen' })     // fails
expect({ id: 1, name: 'Pen' }).toEqual({ id: 1, name: 'Pen' })   // passes

A.toBe ignores the name fieldB.toEqual only works with numbersC.The objects have different valuesD.toBe checks that both are the same object in memory, while toEqual compares the values inside
