Write a note on halide compounds of group-$16$ elements.

Assertion : Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as $S_8$ but oxygen exists as $O_2$.
Reason : Oxygen forms $p\pi-p\pi$ multiple bond due to small size and small bond length but $p\pi-p\pi$ bonding is not possible in sulphur.

Choose the correct statements from the following:
$A$. All group $16$ elements form oxides of general formula $EO_2$ and $EO_3$ where $E=S, Se, Te$ and $Po$. Both the types of oxides are acidic in nature.
$B$. $TeO_2$ is an oxidising agent while $SO_2$ is reducing in nature.
$C$. The reducing property decreases from $H_2S$ to $H_2Te$ down the group.
$D$. The ozone molecule contains six lone pairs of electrons.
