Why do specific heat capacity of object differ?

Raising the temperature of a substance means changing the average kinetic energy of its particles. Since all substances are made from different particles (atoms) that have different masses, therefore, 1g of one substance will not contain the same number of particles in 1g of another substance.

The specific heat capacity of different substances vary for the same reason that different substances have different melting and boiling points to one another. If the bonds between atoms are stronger, it will require more energy to heat up the substance.
