If something takes the shape of its

container, but the particles do not spread out to fill the container completely
what state of matter is it?

Liquid

The particles in a liquid are packed close together which means they have a definite volume although the particles can move around freely which leads to them having no definite shape but rather take the shape of the container they are placed in.
