The inner most shell is the K shell with 2 electrons whereas the outer shell or the L shell has 5 electrons
The innermost shell can accomade 2 electrons
false
The innermost shell of an atom, also known as the K shell, can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. This is determined by the formula (2n^2), where (n) is the principal quantum number of the shell. For the K shell, (n = 1), so (2(1^2) = 2). Therefore, there are 2 places for electrons in the innermost shell.

No. Nitrogen has five electrons in its valence shell.

The innermost shell of every atom except hydrogen consists of 2 electrons.
Innermost is surely 2, as with every atom apart from Hydrogen?
Only 2 electrons can reside in the innermost shell.

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
Only in hydrogen or helium, because in these two elements only the innermost shell is also the outermost shell.
