Answer:
Of these electrons, 2 reside in the first shell and 8 reside in the second outermost shell.
Explanation:
The statement is true for the atom of neon.
Neon has atomic number 10. So, it has 10 protons and 10 electrons. Out of these 10 electrons, the first shell i.e. K shell contains 2 electrons. The second or the outermost shell i.e. L shell contains the rest 8 electrons. This is called the filling up of shells in atoms.
