Only if you could develop a battery chemistry that (similar to the Lead Acid battery) corroded one copper plate during charging and not the other, without generating lots of hydrogen gas, and was reversible during discharge. I have never read of any such battery chemistry.
I'd have to say no.
Try in a metals store.

Copper is an element. As copper gauze is usually made of 100% copper, it would be considered an element. If it has impurities or other elements, then it would be a metallic compound, not an element.
Alloys are harder than the components.
if the copper wire (s) were conneting the battery to the lamp removing one of the wires would break a circut and the lamp goes out.

Copper Nitrate -> has Cu2+ and NO3- NO3- won't touch other metals but Cu2+ will be displaced from solution, by ANY metal more reactive than copper. However, the speed of the reaction depends on many other factors. (Check the reactivity series on the internet) E.g. Na: 2 Na + Cu2+ => 2 Na+ + Cu (oxidation-reduction reaction, Cu as the oxidising agent) Examples of metals more reactive than copper (but might not react with Cu(NO3)2 immediately) are: Na, K, Fe, Zn, Al... and many many more
Silicon would be classified as a metalloid. Aluminum and copper are classified as metals, while tin is typically classified as a metal. Metalloids have properties that are in between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
Ferrous metals are metals with a trace of iron in them. Some examples of ferrous metals would be steel, pig iron and other alloys, for example stainless steel. Ferrous metals are known for their magnetic properties.
i would say maybe aluminum, copper, bronze, zinc and tin.
A copper pipe would work as a conductor because most metals like copper, they are well conductors. If you want to know an example of an insulator, you can say rubber is a good insulator.
It's actually "galvanic" and "alkaline" cells, but no matter. To understand any battery you must first understand the galvanic series, which says that if you take two dissimilar metals and create a conductive path between them, which is called the electrolyte, electricity will flow from one to the other. (The galvanic series was actually invented for sailors so they'd know what metals on their ships would corrode fastest in seawater.) So if you wanted to build a battery that puts out two volts, you'd pick two metals that are two volts apart on the galvanic series. A galvanic cell has two metals submerged in sulfate solutions of themselves (normally copper in copper sulfate and zinc in zinc sulfate), and a conductive pathway connecting the two containers of sulfate solutions. Any other kind of battery has the two metals submerged in the same container of electrolyte. An alkaline battery uses a potassium hydroxide paste as its electrolyte.
