Lithium has the highest specific heat at 3.57 KJ/kg Ko.
Furthermore:
Lithium is also the lightest solid element, which is why it has the highest mass specific heat (energy per kilogram per degree). The molar heat capacity (energy per mole per degree) is nearly the same, 25 J/mol/Ko, for all metals. The volumetric heat capacity (energy per unit volume per degree) is slightly changing among metals and a cubic centimeter of uranium has about 18% greater volumetric heat capacity than the same volume of lithium, 1.9 J/cm3/Ko, but it is 36 times the mass.
The result is that if you have a fixed metal mass and you want to absorb heat, then lithium is best, but if you have a fixed volume and you can use a very dense metal, then uranium works though it is a bit more expensive.

∙ 9y agoYes, metal can absorb heat. It also conducts heat and reflects it based on the type of metal and situation.

∙ 10y agoYes. But most metal roofing sales companies will sell some kind of barrier to place between the roof and the metal such as "double-bubble" or palisade.

∙ 12y agoI would say metal because it is a great heat conductor but it doesn't burn as quick as wood does though.

What metal have the property to absorb a lot of heat?
lead
Would material absorb more heat?
If there was more heat to absorb than was already in the material.
What is a hypothesis for which metal absorbs heat the most?
A hypothesis is a guess based on what you know. Which metal do YOU think will absorb heat the most? Write it as a statement and that will be your hypothesis: "I think _____ will absorb heat the most." It doesn't matter if your hypothesis is right or wrong, just that you have a guess.Of course, then you need to test your hypothesis and actually find out which metal does!
Metal ice-cube tray and a plastic tub of ice cream are sitting in the freezer Why does the ice-cube tray feel colder to touch than the tub of ice cream?
The metal tray has both a higher specific heat (ability to gain or hold heat) and a higher conductivity (ability to transfer heat). So while the ice cream will increase in temperature where you touch it (and hence only absorb a small amount of body heat), the tray can absorb more heat, and transfer it to all of the metal and ice in the tray. (This is also why you can lick a wooden pole in the winter, but not a metal one!)
Is wood more dry then metal?
The comparison is inadequate; wood contain or can absorb water, a metal no.
What metal have the property to absorb a lot of heat?
lead
Why is a metal plate used in heat sinks?
because metal is a good conductor of energy (there are a lot of free electrons in a metal) and this will cause the metal to absorb and radiate more energy combined with the increased surface area of the heat sink
Does a metal plate absorb heat faster with gaps?
Yes, if the metal plate have gaps, it would definitely absorb more heat. Why? Gaps is to allow expansion when heated. This is the same example of the MRT train tracks. So, if the metal plates don't have gaps, the metal plates would expand further and maybe it will 'burst'.
Would material absorb more heat?
If there was more heat to absorb than was already in the material.
What type of metal absorb the heat?
Gold, aluminum, and copper all are good absorbers of heat

Does copper absorb heat and expel it much efficiently better than any other metal explain your answer and what metal offer that if not?
No.
Does asphalt absorb heat?
Yes, because black is the color that makes things more combustible or absorb heat faster
Do some colors absorb more heat than others?
Darker colors like black, will absorb more heat than lighter colors, such as white.
Which colour absorb more heat?
black takes in more heat than all colors
How does dark colour absorb more heat than white?
White is a good reflector of heat therefore it will absorb less heat than a dark surface.
Does sand or water absorb more heat?
water
