Answer:
Below are some patterns in the charge for elements in each group.
Group 1 elements : 1 valence electron and form ions with charge +1
Group 2 elements : 2 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 2
Group 3 elements : 3 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 3(there are some exceptions as well)
Elements in groups 4 and 5 are unpredictable also the D block elements consist of multiple oxidation states..
Group 6 elements : 6 valence electrons, form ions with charge -2
Group 7 elements: 7 valence electrons, form ions with charge -1
The octet rule is being followed, the elements form either ionic bond or covalent bond to fulfill it.
eg: when a K atom forms a K+ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ar (argon).
When an O atom gains 2 electrons to form the O²⁻ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ne (neon).
Note: Boron (B) is in Group 3 but doesn't form ions.
π(9). When you solve it you end up with a radius of 2 in which you multiply by 1.2 which gives you the radius of the new cylinder which is 2.4. With the new radius you simply find the volume of the bigger cylinder which is 51.94π
