The relative mass of each element can be found from the periodic table (the larger number). For instance, P2O5, P = 31.0 O = 16.0, thus the formula mass (Mr) is 2(31) + 5(16) = 142 amu (atomic mass unit). I used a not really specific periodic table. Maybe your teacher is referring to open Schoology (a website where teacher can post files or announcements to students in his or her class). Sorry if i got something mistaken.
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.

Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period.
