Does the constant motion of the particles in a liquid cause the liquid to take the shape of its container?

Yes, pressure in the liquid caused by its molecules constantly being in motion force it to take on the shape of its container (within limits).

What is streamline motion and turbulent motion?
the flow of liquid throw a pipe line is said to be stream line if at any given point , the velocity of the particles is constant.
Do particles always move?
Yep, Particles are at constant motion.
Why is the mantle is constant motion?
Its floating on a liquid.
How does the kinetic theory explain Brownian motion?
The molecules are in a state of constant motion. The particles exert attractive force on one another. The particles possess kinetic energy due to their motion.
The is the theory that all matter is made of tiny particles in constant motion?
Kinetic Theory
Does a gas expand until it fills its container because its particles are in constant and uniform motion?
yes
Do particles in Mercury collide with one another?
All particles of all things are in constant motion. Particles in a liquid collide, but the rate is subdued by the viscosity of the liquid.
What keep the particles of a liquid from spreading out to fill an entire container in the same way that gas particles do?
the forces of attraction among them limit their motion.
Molecule of a substance are in a motion?
Molecules of a substance are in constant motion. Whether you have a solid, liquid, or gas, the particles are moving (but the speed and amount they move differs). Particles of a solid move the least (they basically vibrate), particles of a liquid can flow around one another, and particles of a gas have a lot of space between them because they move in random, constant motions.
When are molecules of a substance in motion?

Particles of a solid move the least (they basically vibrate), particles of a liquid can flow around one another, and particles of a gas have a lot of space between them because they move in random, constant motions.
A liquid takes the shape of its container and keeps the same volume?
Due to the constant motion of the particles in a liquid, the particles could theoretically keep moving so that the liquid never takes a form. But putting the liquid into a container effectively throws a huge wall in front of the moving particles that they cannot get past. the particles hit the sides of the container and change direction. The liquid then remains in that shape despite the fact that its particles are still moving (hitting the sides of the container). Because a liquid has stronger intermolecular forces than gases, the liquid stays in liquid form and does not just evaporate once it is put into a container and its particles hit an obstacle.
What is streamline motion and turbulent motion?
the flow of liquid throw a pipe line is said to be stream line if at any given point , the velocity of the particles is constant.
What particles move around the nucleus in constant and random motion?
Electrons are the particles that move around the nucleus in constant and random motion.
Do particles always move?
Yep, Particles are at constant motion.
Which of these is the result of particles moving in a constant zigzag motion?
brownian motion
The kinetic molecular theory assumes that the particles of an ideal gas?
are in random, constant, straight-line motion
What is the shape and particle motion and density of a liquid?
Unlike a solid, a liquid has no defined shape. It is able to take the shape of a container and flow freely. It maintains a fairly constant density. Its density is higher than a gas, but less than a solid. The particles have only temporary bindings, allowing them to travel freely.
