Flura [38]

Given what we know, the ability of water to absorb more heat than the other substances mentioned is a reflection of its high boiling point.

<h3>What do we mean by boiling point?</h3>

This is the temperature at which the substance boils, and subsequently evaporates. Having a higher boiling point means that the substance will be able to absorb much more heat than that of a substance with a lower boiling point.

Therefore, Water molecules have a higher boiling point than molecules of similar size, such as ammonia and methane, reflecting its capacity to absorb large amounts of heat.
