Why do new stars form in the arms of a spiral galaxy and not in the central bulge?

Stars form in all parts of our galaxy - not just the "arms". Stars do indeed form in the central bulge. The vast majority of hot, young, blue stars are formed in the arms, but stars also form in the central bulge as well.

Why are the stars in the globular clusters classified as population ll stars?

The first stars to form after the "Big Bang" were made just of Hydrogen and Helium. They were very large and died young, exploding to leave a little metal (heavier elements) in the universe - these stars are called "Population III" stars.The next stars to form incorporated a little metal from the older stars (but are still very low in heavy elements) and are called "Population II" stars. Stars in globular clusters are this sort of star (globular clusters are old and have not produced new stars for a long time). We can tell this form their metallicity and the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram for Globular clusters.Most stars contain a lot of heavy elements (high metallicity) and are quite young (like our Sun). These are called "Population I" stars.

How are population 1 stars and population 2 stars different?
