Specific heat.
Specific heat (specific heat capacity) is the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C (commonly expressed in J/(g·°C) or J/(kg·K)). It depends on the substance's chemical composition and structure.
(For clarity: thermal energy is the total internal energy from particle motion, and activation heat refers to activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction.)
