Solution(By Examveda Team)

The heat capacity of the solid, liquid and gases are different and usually the liquid have higher heat capacity than solids as liquids can absorb more heat as the molecules put the energy into both translational and vibrational kinetic energy. Whereas in solids the energy is put only in vibrational energy.
