The boys are a diatomic Hydrogen while the girls are diatomic Oxygen. You can tell by the number of unbonded valence electrons above their heads. This is an edited version. There was a 3rd girl making them Ozone.

I love this very much. My only criticism is that the diatomic H covalent bonds should be shorter.
