Ok, that was probably kind of difficult. How about this? Match the pairs. And don't forget that you are a chemist.

A      1


B     2

Does this have something to do with the conformations of cyclohexanes?

The A (eclipsed) goes with 1 (boat conformation), while B (staggered?) goes with 2 (chair conformation)?
