>the wave function predicts that for an atom the elctron density should be highest at the nucleus and therefore you should find an electron there.

Not exactly. The wavefunction for 1s looks like [math]e^{-r/a}[/math] but to find the probability you have to calculate the integral which includes an [math]r^2[/math] in the integrand.

Pic related illustrates the actual radial variation of the probability density of the 1s orbital.
