Yes

Explanation:

Electrons are found in orbits or shells that are found around the nucleus and not in or on the nucleus. The nucleus contains only protons and neutrons.

Each shell contains a maximum number of #2n^2# where n is the shell number. Your first shell or your K shell is the first circle from the nucleus. So don't count the nucleus as your first shell. Count the next circle as your first shell.
