The pairing of electron in generated orbitals take place only when the degenerate orbitals are filled with one electron each
Hund’s Rule of Maximum Multiplicity :
According to this rule: “no electron pairing takes place in the orbitals with equivalent energy until each orbital in the given subshell contains one electron & the spins of all unpaired electrons are parallel i.e. in the same direction”.
Hence, the given statement is true.
