Even before the Juno results come in, it is safe to say that Jupiter is a 
gas giant with a mass of ca. 2.5 times of the mass of all other planets in 
the Sol system [1], so not “a round planet of lava and crust just like every 
other”. 

Because we already know from the Galileo Probe in 1995 that Jupiter consists 
of ca. 90 % hydrogen and 10 % helium. [2]  If Jupiter has a solid or liquid 
core, then that would most likely consist of solid hydrogen, helium or 
methane [3], or, due to the extreme gravitational pressure, degenerate 
matter like metallic hydrogen.  The outer boundary of that core would have 
to be more than 156 km below the upper boundary of Jupiter’s atmosphere 
(ibid.); its mean radius is 69'911 ± 6 km [1].

Whereas magma (not: lava; for lava there has to be a volcano [4]) and 
planetary crusts consists of true metals like silicon, aluminium, sodium, 
potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron (in descending percentages). [5]
