Throughout my time doing physics I have noticed that ice has a lower specific heat capacity than water.
I don't understand why.
To me it seems that the bonds between water molecules in a solid are stronger and hence require a greater deal of thermal energy to break. Hence, the PE of the system increases.
So what is the explanation ?
