Solution:
The above statement is true.The two subshells of the energy level for n=2 are 2s and 2p. Also, s and p stand for the primary energy levels' subshells. Two subshells make up the second shell (labelled 2s and 2p). The 2p subshell can accommodate up to six electrons, whereas the 2s subshell can accommodate up to two electrons. This indicates that a maximum of eight electrons () may fit in the second shell.
