no, it's because shape of P orbital, there is some probability that 2P electron may be found in 1s cloud too, but its very rare

An 2S electron can be found in 1S cloud too, but finding a 2P electron near 1s shell is rare

See the thing is, An electron in S shell can get close to nucleus easily, so there is more probability of the electron that is may be present near nucleus in the electron cloud, hence it will shield more effectively,
P have less penetration power, the electron struggles to go near nucleus
Same for D and F but more

with the same criteria, d(z^2) orbital will be as powerfull as p shell cause 2 lobes hi hote hai usme. doesnt make sense

It is not relent also, it is just mere coincidence that more lobes = less shielding, the main factor is electron penetration in orbital. as per my knowledge

Can you reference this from the book? where it says shielding is indirectly proportional to number of lobes.
