No, Jupiter is one of the four gas giants like Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. These have surfaces made of gases such as hydrogen.

The rocky planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

However, although Jupiter's surface isn't rocky, it's core is believed to be solid and bits of metal are believed to be floating in liquid hydrogen near the core.

Jupitar is a gas giant, meaning it is made out of gas(obviously) and a rock plant like Mars,the Moon, and Earth are planets that have a surface we can walk on.

......However, Shoemaker–Levy comet fragments collided with Jupiter's Southern Hemisphere between July 16 and July 22, 1994, at a speed of approximately 134,000 mph. The scars from the impacts persisted for many months.... So, some say its a gas giant, but if a comet collided with it, made plumes of ash and soil for 1000s of miles across, well... Seems like it has some surface some people won't accept.

No. They are expected to have fairly small rocky cores, but they are by definition "gas giants".

Gassy ... it's the largest of the gas giants.
Whether or not it has a solid core is still open to debate.
