Walls made of paraffin wax, a covalent compound, help keep the temperature in a room steady as night changes into day and day into night. What is the most important property of covalent compounds that allows paraffin wax to help keep a room’s temperature level?

A
The wall would not absorb or release any heat energy from the room or outside, so it would not affect the room’s temperature.
B
The wall would not absorb heat during the day, but at night it would release heat that naturally exists inside of most covalent compounds.
C
The wall would absorb extra heat during the day when the sun is out, then release the heat back into the room when the sun goes down.
D
The wall would absorb extra heat during the day, and the wall would hold this heat in so that it cannot absorb any more heat from the night air.
