Question

Why do water molecules have high specific heat?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Water molecules have a high specific heat due to the strong hydrogen bonding between the molecules. These hydrogen bonds require a significant amount of energy to break, leading to a greater amount of heat being absorbed before the temperature of the water molecules increases. This property of water helps to regulate temperature changes in bodies of water, as well as within living organisms that are primarily made up of water.
