Choose the correct statements from the following
A. All group $\displaystyle 16$ elements form oxides of general formula $\displaystyle \mathrm{EO}_2$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{EO}_3$, where $\displaystyle \mathrm{E}=\mathrm{S}, \mathrm{Se}, \mathrm{Te}$ and Po . Both the types of oxides are acidic in nature.
B. $\displaystyle \mathrm{TeO}_2$ is an oxidising agent while $\displaystyle \mathrm{SO}_2$ is reducing in nature.
C. The reducing property decreases from $\displaystyle \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$ to $\displaystyle \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}$ down the group.
D. The ozone molecule contains five lone pairs of electrons.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
