No, it has only two electrons in total.
If you have 2 electrons in the first and second shells, you represent the element Helium (He). Helium has two electrons, both of which occupy the first energy level or shell, making it a stable noble gas. The second shell remains unoccupied in this case, as it requires a minimum of 8 electrons to be filled in accordance with the octet rule.
The electron configuration of helium is 1s2; two electrons on the first (and the single) electron shell.
Helium has one energy shell with only 2 electrons in it.
It is because the two electrons in helium are placed in K-shell. The K-shell has the capacity of only two electrons. Therefore, in Lithium the third electron is placed in the L-shell. You can find the capacity of a shell to hold electrons by the formula 2n2 where n is the shell no.
In the first shell there are two electrons and in the second shell there are six electrons, but only the electrons in the second (outer) shell are valence electrons.

Two electrons.
The electron configuration of helium is 1s2; two electrons on the first (and the single) electron shell.
There are two electrons in the valance shell of helium. Since this is the first shell, it is filled by two electrons.
In the first shell of oxygen, there are 2 electrons, and in the second shell, there are 6 electrons. Oxygen has 8 electrons in total, with 2 of them in the first shell and the remaining 6 in the second shell.

In the first shell there are two electrons and in the second shell there are six electrons, but only the electrons in the second (outer) shell are valence electrons.
First Shell always has 2 electrons. Second shell onwards can have up to a maximum of 8 electrons.
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. Its atomic number is 7 therefore it has a total of 7 electrons. If you put this in a Bohr-Rutherford Diagram, there would be 2 electrons in the first shell (Helium structure) and 5 electrons in the outer shell. The number of electrons in an element's outermost shell is its number of valence electrons.
2 valence electrons for helium (helium has only 1 shell)
helium has 2 electrons in its 1st orbital. It doesn't have 2nd or 3rd orbitals.
