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.
Why does liquid follow the form of its container?
A liquid follows the form of its container because its particles are far apart and there for do not hold any specific shape.
Explain why the particles of a liquid are able to pour into a container and then take on the shape of the container?
The particles of a liquid are not chemically bound to the other particles (the particles are generally molecules) around them. They do have some attraction for the other particles, which is why they are a liquid rather than a gas, however, the attraction applies equally to all the particles in the liquid, rather than being a specific attachment to neighboring particles. Consequently the particles move independently of each other, which makes liquids shapeless and able to be poured and to take the shape of a container.
What is a state where particles take the shape of the container and have a definite volume?

How does the particles in a fluid move?
by vibrating inside of the container that the liquid is held inside in

How are the particles of a liquid different from the particles of gas?
liquid particles have limited movements while gas particles will spread to fill the whole container uniformly (limited only by the container's volume) the particle interaction in liquid is much stronger than in gases gases are compressible while liquids are not

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.
