No. While they are both metals, and both are elements, copper and zinc wire are made from different elements, and would be used for different results or purposes.

What are copper and zinc molecules?
Copper and zinc are atoms, not molecules.
Why does zinc plus copper oxide equal copper plus zinc oxide?
Because the zinc is "oxydised" and the copper is "reduced"
What is mixed with copper to make brass?
Brass is mainly an alloy of copper and zinc. Some alloys do have small amounts of arsenic added also.
What do copper and zinc make?
SO4 (sulfate) is soluble only when combined with Ba2+, Pb2+, Ca2+, and Sr2+. Since ZnSO4 is not soluble, nothing happens.
What two metals compose the alloy brass?
Zinc and Copper Copper and zinc make up the mixture (alloy) brass.
How does Daniell cell produce electricity?
A daniell cell is a system comprising a copper container, a solution of copper ions, a porous pot, a solution of zinc ions and a zinc rod. When the zinc rod and the copper container are connected by a wire, the zinc rod is oxidised to zinc 2+ ions, which releases two moles of electrons per mole of zinc decayed. These electrons flow round the wire to the positive electrode, the zinc container, where the copper ions in the solution are reduced to copper metal. If components eg. A light bulb, are placed within the circuit, the electron flow from the zinc to the copper electrode will power the bulb.
What is better copper or zinc BBS?
They are both about the same.
What and when did we use zinc in science?
Zinc is used in very simple batteries (usualy for demonstration rather than actual power scources.) generaly in chemistry, you make a galvanic cell out of zinc rod, zinc sulphate, copper wire, copper rod, copper sulphate and a salt bridge made of potassium nitrate, and that will give you a small direct current of electrons from the zinc side of the cell to the copper side of the cell and a conventional current from copper to zinc
Is brass the same thing as copper?
Depends on what the usage is do you want YELLOW Brass 60% Copper 40% Zinc Or do you want RED BRASS? 85% Copper 15% Zinc
What it the alloy of copper an zinc?
Alloys that contain only copper and zinc are usually called "brass"; there are also some alloys that contain one or more other metals in addition to copper and zinc, and these usually have another name.
Does zinc usually combine with copper?
Alloys of zinc and copper are well known. There are no chemical compounds of zinc and copper.
Does copper displace zinc from zinc sulphate?
No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.
What two things happen when zinc is added to copper sulphate?
The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!
Alloyed with copper to make brass?
Zinc
Can you change from aluminum wire to copper wire in a new oven?
Copper is preferable to aluminum and the size of wire should be the same or the next size down if copper is used.
What do iron copper zinc and manganese have in common?
They are all in the same period
Is the zinc and copper are solids?
Zinc and copper are solid metals.
