Question

what makes liquid take the shape of the container they are poured in ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The attraction between the particles in a liquid keeps the volume of the liquid constant. The movement of the particles causes the liquid to be variable in shape. Liquids will flow and fill the lowest portion of a container, taking on the shape of the container but not changing in volume.Jul 24, 2014

Liquids occupy definite volume but have no definite shape. It takes the shape of the container.

This is because the inter-molecular force of attraction between the molecules in a liquid is less when compared to solids and the liquid molecules are loosely packed. In a liquid, the particles are in close contact and so they have a definite volume. However, because the particles can slide across each other.
