The correct distribution of the eight electrons in the energy levels of an atom is **two in the first energy level and six in the second energy level**.
This follows the rules for electron configuration where the first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, and the second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. In this case, the first energy level is filled with 2 electrons, and the remaining 6 electrons occupy the second energy level.
