Net ionic equation can be written from complete ionic equation by canceling the spectators ion from complete ionic equation.
For example:
Balanced Chemical equation:
HClO₂(aq) + NaOH(aq) → H₂O(l) + NaClO₂ (aq)
Ionic equation:
H⁺(aq) + ClO₂⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + ClO₂⁻ (aq)
Net ionic equation:
H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l)
The ClO₂⁻(aq) and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.
Spectator ions:
These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

A piece of metal with a mass of 611 g is placed into a graduated cylinder that contains 25.1 ml of water, raising the water leve

Mass of metal piece is 611 g and volume of graduated cylinder is 25.1 mL. When metal piece is placed in the graduated cylinder water level increases to 56.7 mL. The increase in volume is due to volume of metal piece that gets added to the volume of water.

Thus, volume of metal piece can be calculated by subtracting initial volume from the final one.

$V_{metal}=V_{final}-V_{initial}=(56.7-25.1)mL=31.6 mL$
