Solution

The correct option is A True
At the first energy level, the only orbital available to e is the 1s orbital, but at the second line, as well as a2s orbital there are also orbitals called 2p orbitals. A p orbital is rather like 2 identical balloons tied together at the nucleus which are perpendicular to each other as on X, Y, Z axis
Hence, true.
