An atom doesn't have a "shell" at all. Electrons orbit an atom at different layers each called a "shell", so your answer is no.

How will an atom with 2 electrons in its second shell usually combine with other atoms?

If you are saying that the second shell is the last shell of an atom, then the two electron in it would be its valence electrons. If the atom has more shells (more than two), then the two electrons inside the second shell will not usually combine with other atoms since it will be hard to obtain. If you are referring to the second group in the periodic table, then the two electrons in its shell will be given to a nonmetal so that it will be happy with 8 electrons in its shell.
