If mass and the temperature change is not a factor then we can take a look at the chemical bonds in the substance. Chemical bonds can also dictate how hard a sample can be heated or to break the bonds in it. Two of the strongest bonds are the ionic and covalent bond. The strongest of the two is the ionic.
