Not zero, but very, very, very, very............ close to zero. ---- Actually, the probability function for s orbitals has a local maximum at the nucleus (though it does assume that electrons and nuclei are dimensionless points). I honestly can't recall ever seeing any discussion on how the fact that they are not really dimensionless points affects the probability function, but still, for an s electron, a point "just outside" the nucleus has a significantly higher probability than a point a Bohr radius away does.

There is a 10% probability that the electron will be found anywhere/everywhere!

What name is given to a region of an electron probability density graph where the probability of finding the electron is zero?
The region of zero electron density is called a "node."
What is node and nodal plane?
It is the portion in an atom outside the nucleus where the probability of finding an electron is zero.
Region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons?
The region around an atomic nucleus where an electron is likely to be moving.
What does modern atomic theory say about electron location?
the heisenburg uncertainty priciple says that you cannot know an electron's location and speed at the same time
Why must you arbitrarily use 90 percent of probability of finding an electron in the region?
None. You can use 80% or 95 or 99%. The reliability of your estimates will change in response.

It is the portion in an atom outside the nucleus where the probability of finding an electron is zero.
The electron cloud is least dense where the probability of finding an electron is?
the electron cloud is least dense where the probability of finding an electron is LOWEST
What do electron clouds have?
They are the probability of finding the electrons.
What is the probability of finding an electron in an orbital?
I got no idea
A region of high probability of finding an electron?
atomic orbital
Region of high probability of finding an electron?
atomic orbital
Who estimates the probability of finding an electron in a certain position?
It is usually a physicist.
What is often thought of as a aregion of space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron?
These are sometimes called 'electron clouds'.
What is often thought of as a region of space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron?
Electron Cloud
A region in which there is a high probability of finding an electron is called a field true or false?
false
What is the region around a nucleus where an electron might be found?
The place around the nucleus where an electron can be found is called the ORBITAL . Accordingly the place where the chances of finding an electron are the least is known as 'NODE' .
