For the first one you can use the phrase "single file," that is, the chairs are placed one behind the other in a single line facing forward. The chairs are in single file. If the chairs are side by side and not one behind the other, it is simply a row of chairs.

For the second one, you can say the chairs are placed in pairs, or that there are five rows of two chair

In the first one the lines aren't supposed to be behind one another. When I posted it, that's what happened.

They are supposed to be zigzagged.

Yes, I don't know how you did that.

That is how I want them. How do you say that if they are chairs in the sentence?

Thank you

You can say that the chairs are staggered.
