White gold can be alloyed several different ways, but is most commonly 90% gold and 10% nickel. Sometimes rhodium is also added. It is used in jewelry. There is no common industrial use for it.

What is more valuable white or yellow gold?
No. White gold and yellow gold have the same amount of gold/value in them, but white gold is made with nickel and few other properties which turn it white. Some white gold jewelry is slightly more expensive because most of it has a rhodium coating (which gives it that shiny bright white look) and that cost is factored in.
