Hello Janet. Sometimes these lists of the generations & families of important folk in the Bible, can get confusing. So I'll try to explain a little.
In 1 Chronicles chapter 23, we see from verse 6, that David organized the Levites into their specific appointments. Their father was Levi (of the tribe of the same name from Jacob). From Levi, came Gershon, Kohath & Merari (v6). From Kohath came Amram, Izhar, Hebron & Uzziel (v12). From Amram came Moses & Aaron (v13). And from Moses came Gershom & Eliezer (v15). (I've only shown the names that are specific to your question).
Now we get to the problem. Often in the Bible, we see the repetition of certain phrases, particularly in relation to genealogies. In this instance, we read, 'the sons of...'. Most of the families listed had several sons, but Eliezer had only one son (Rehabiah) shown as the founder (chief) - and he had a very large family & generations after him. So, even when it says in verse 17, "And the sons of Eliezer were", the wording only follows the pattern laid out before - but Eliezer only had the one son.
Then in verse 22 (your other query), the mention of Eleazar (vv21,22), is a different one (even seen from the spelling of the name). This Eleazar, was the son of Mahli (v21), who was the son of Merari (v21), who was the son of Levi (v6).
And 1 Chronicles 24:28, we read that from Mahli came Eleazar (as we saw him earlier), & this Eleazar had no sons (v28 & 1 Chronicles 23:22).
I hope you can work through all that, though maybe the puzzle in your mind is, 'why is Eliezer showing up in different families?' Of course, the answer to that is, that it's not the same Eliezer/Eleazar.
