We say that principal quantum number tells us the average distance from the nucleus, so the sub shells of some principal quantum number say 3 has 3 sub Shells 0,1,2 and in 3p sub shell their will probability of finding the electron near the nucleus which doesn't mean electron will find in region of 2p orbital.
How can we say that there are different orbitals in an electron as the smaller orbital for example 2p will come in the region of 3p.
