I don't completely comprehend what you are asking for, but I will try my best to answer your question. First, we can notice that there are two bonds between Adenine and Thymine, while there are 3 bonds between Guanine and Cytosine. This suggests that bonded Guanine and Cytosine pairs are stronger than bonded Adenine and Thymine pairs. Additionally, we can conclude that Adenine and Cytosine are both purines, as in the model, both bases are depicted with a 6-membered ring fused to a 5-membered ring, which is what defines a purine. On the other hand, Thymine and Cytosine are both pyrimidines since, in the model, they are depicted with only one 6-membered ring, which is what defines a pyrimidine.
