Heat and thus energy storage. UK heating systems in homes use circulating water to heat homes because of water's high Specific Heat Capacity.
The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit of mass of the substance by one degree Celsius. A substance with a high specific heat will require more heat to increase its temperature compared to a substance with a lower specific heat.

The ability of a substance to hold heat.
A substance with low specific heat capacity and low thermal conductivity would heat up most quickly because it requires less energy to raise its temperature and does not distribute heat effectively. Materials like metals and low-density liquids generally heat up quickly compared to dense solids with high specific heat capacities.
If a substance has a specific heat less than one, it would take less heat to raise its temperature compared to a substance with a specific heat of one. This is because substances with lower specific heat values require less energy to raise their temperature by a certain amount.
The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit of mass of the substance by one degree Celsius. A substance with a high specific heat will require more heat to increase its temperature compared to a substance with a lower specific heat.

The specific heat of a substance is a characteristic property that remains constant regardless of the amount. Therefore, the specific heat of 50 g of a substance will be the same as the specific heat of 10 g of the same substance.

No, it is not possible for the specific heat of a substance to have a negative value.

Some specific heat questions that can deepen understanding of the concept include: How does the specific heat of a substance affect its ability to absorb or release heat? Why do different substances have different specific heat capacities? How does the specific heat of a substance relate to its temperature change when heat is added or removed? How can the specific heat of a substance be experimentally determined? How does the specific heat of a substance impact its thermal conductivity and overall heat transfer properties?
A substance with a high specific heat will easily change temperature.
