a liquid
The behavior of particles (such as how closely they are packed and how they interact) determines the state of matter. In solids, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In liquids, particles are loosely packed and can slide past each other. In gases, particles are far apart and move freely.
That would be liquid because in a solid, they are stuck and in a gas, they are far apart but in a liquid the particles move around but are still close together.
This state of matter is called liquid. In liquids, particles are close together but have enough energy to move past one another, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container.
If the particles are electrically neutral the state of matter is a gas. If the particles ore ionized - a "soup" of electrons and positively charged ions, it is a plasma.
The state of matter of a substance is determined by the arrangement of its particles. The three main states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have particles that are tightly packed and vibrating in place, liquids have loosely packed particles that can move past one another, and gases have particles that are far apart and move freely.
That sounds like the description of a liquid.

No, in may states of matter the movement of particles is largely restricted.
In the gas state of matter, particles are bouncing off each other.

Liquid particles move in random directions due to their kinetic energy. The particles are free to flow and slide over each other, creating a fluid or liquid state of matter.
In the solid state of matter, the particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place, but they do not have enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in position to slide past each other. This results in a fixed shape and volume for solids.
The liquid state.
If the particles are electrically neutral the state of matter is a gas. If the particles ore ionized - a "soup" of electrons and positively charged ions, it is a plasma.
Particles that make up matter are in a state of constant motion.
