Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

This is true, because the atom's edge is defined by the outermost electron's
position, and the rest of the atom has only occasional electrons and the nucleus at the center.
We might think that the probability density fills the space between the outer edge of the
atom and the nucleus. However, if we consider the probability density, we expect that it isn't
really there, it's more like the ghost of the electron.
