JEE Main Chemistry question

The higher value of specific heat of water compared to other liquids is due to

(A)High dielectric constant
(B)Polarity
(C)Hydrogen bondingCorrect
(D)None of the above

Answer: (C)

Solution

The extensive hydrogen-bonded network among water molecules means a large amount of thermal energy is needed to increase the kinetic energy (and hence temperature) of the molecules, since much of the added
