Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Jupiter's structure as one moves toward the center is increasing density of hydrogen with some helium, eventually turning liquid, then metallic, with a rocky core at the center. Terrestrial planets are rocky, growing molten as you go down, with a core of iron. The iron core is molten on the outside and solid in the center.
