The number of electrons that can be accomodated in each shell is given by 2n^2 rule where n stands for the number of shell. For example you want to check that how many electrons you can accomodate in the first shell then you will just simply apply the 2n^2 rule like 2(1)^2 that is equal to 2, that means that you cannot accomodate more than 2 electrons in the first shell. For the second shell you will apply the rule again 2(2)^2 which is equal to 8 that means you cannot accomodate more than 8 electrons in the second shell.
