To arrange eight items in pairs, you first choose 2 items from the 8, then 2 from the remaining 6, and so on. The number of ways to arrange these pairs can be calculated using the formula for pairing, which is given by ( \frac{8!}{(2^4)(4!)} ). This accounts for the fact that the order of the pairs themselves does not matter. The final result gives you 105 ways to arrange the eight items into four pairs.

3 items (or people) can line up in 6 different sequences. 6 items (or people) can line up in 720 different sequences.
two bonds and eight lone pairs
Two pairs consist of a total of four items. Each pair contains two items, so multiplying the number of pairs (2) by the number of items in each pair (2) gives you 2 x 2 = 4.
To arrange 3 distinct items, you can use the factorial of the number of items, which is calculated as 3! (3 factorial). This equals 3 × 2 × 1 = 6. Therefore, there are 6 different ways to arrange 3 distinct things.

To arrange 3 distinct items, you can use the factorial of the number of items, which is calculated as 3! (3 factorial). This equals 3 × 2 × 1 = 6. Therefore, there are 6 different ways to arrange 3 distinct things.
The number of different ways that you can arrange 15 different items is given by the permutations of 15 things taken 15 at a time. That is 15 factorial, or 1,307,674,368,000.

Eight has two factor pairs. Including their negative counterparts, that makes four pairs.
