dont the 2nd shell of electrons spin in that shape above the first shell? my A2 chemistry escapes me right now so i cant find the correct search term

More generally, it's the shape associated with a number of the azimuthally symmetric spherical harmonics, which are themselves the angular solutions to Laplace's equation. Any central force problem in electrodynamics or classical gravitation has solutions of that form.
