The heat capacity of a material shows the amount of heat that can be taken in before the material increases in temperature. Which statement about heat capacity is correct?
a. A material with a greater heat capacity will exhibit greater changes in the kinetic energy of its particles due to increases or decreases in heat.
b. A material with a greater heat capacity is better able to resist changes due to increases or decreases in heat.
c. A material with a greater heat capacity will have particles that move apart or come together more easily in response to increases or decreases in heat.
d. A material with a greater heat capacity will show changes in electrical conductivity due to increases or decreases in heat.
