What is true below for an atom that is in its ground state

What is true below for an atom that is in its ground state electron configuration. Unpaired electrons in the same orbitals have opposite spins. Orbitals within a subshell are filled to maximize the pairing of electrons. Electrons are promoted to a higher-energy orbital before they are paired in the same orbital. Electrons fill higher-energy shells before filling lower-energy shells. Unpaired electrons in different orbitals have opposite spins.
