making a harder more durable metal as pure gold is extremely soft
The metal used for this purpose is 14-carat gold. This metal is an alloy of gold and another metal. In this alloy, for every 24 parts, 14 parts are of gold and 10 parts are of the other metal.
White gold is one of the many alloys of gold. It contains at least one of nickel, manganese or palladium. In the same types of processes other gold alloy colours can be attained:Pure gold: YellowYellow Gold: An alloy of gold and copperRose/Pink Gold: An alloy of gold and a higher proportion of copperGreen Gold: An alloy of gold and silver
1 percent alloy. The gold would be soft.

There is no copper in gold unless it has been intentionally added in an alloy. If you are referring to an alloy such as rose gold, the amount of copper would depend on the specific composition of the alloy.
Yes, silver and gold can be mixed to create an alloy called electrum. This alloy has been used historically for jewelry and currency. The proportions of silver and gold can vary, which affects the color and properties of the final alloy.

The main component of 16 karat gold alloy is gold, which is typically mixed or alloyed with other metals such as copper, silver, or zinc. These additional metals are added to increase the hardness and durability of the gold alloy while maintaining its desirable gold color.
White gold is a gold alloy.
A gold alloy with variable concentrations of gold.
It depends on the Karat weight. 18K white gold is 75% gold and 25% alloy, 14K white gold is 58% gold and 42% alloy, 9K white gold is 32% gold and 68% alloy. White and yellow gold have exactly the same gold content. The only difference is the alloy mixed with the gold. White gold is usually yellow gold mixed with silver, palladium or nickel.
