Gold is an alloy and it is soft, it is an alloy because it reacts with copper and zinc.
gold can be both soft and hard depending on how pure it is, pure gold (24K) is softer than a gold alloy. And the lower the number the harder it is. 10K is harder than 14K, 14K is harder than 18K, and 18K is harder than 24K (pure gold).
Gold is soft and hard, gold is hard when it has metal plating and soft when there isn't metal plating.
pure gold is a soft metal
Gold is soft. You may see in old movies people biting a gold coin--this is because pure gold is soft enough to dent with your teeth, while fake gold is often a harder and more brittle alloy of other metals.
Because pure gold would not hold the ring's shape. Pure gold is soft.

because pure gold is soft they put other minerals in it to make it hard

Of pure gold itself is soft, but in the production process, usually by adding some hard things, mainly determined the value of gold content. Of pure gold itself is soft, but in the production process, usually by adding some hard things, mainly determined the value of gold content.
Gold is a very soft metal. that's why rings are only made of ten to eighteen karat gold ,pure gold being too malleable.
pure gold is too soft

24K Gold is almost 100% pure gold. That it is why it is such a soft metal.
Pure gold is a very soft metal, too soft for most every day use. Jewelry made of pure gold would quickly become scratched and deformed. Gold alloys are harder.
