Gold is a Good Conductor being able to conduct heat and electricity
Gold is used in electronics because it is a good conductor and it doesn't oxidize as much as other materials. Dentists use gold for teeth fillings. Gold leaf is used for lettering on important books.
Like most of the other elements, gold has many uses but no inherent purpose, other than, perhaps, to exist. The uses of gold include serving as money and other forms of wealth, use in art and decoration, use as an electrical conductor.
Gold is used for making pieces of jewelery and coins.Because of its resistance to corrosion and good electrical conductive properties, electrical contacts are often plated with gold. This is just one. There are many other uses for gold. Check out the related Wikipedia post.
Industrial uses for gold are jewelry and as plating for electrical connections. It's too expensive for most other industrial uses. Gold is primarily used as a financial commodity, as a store of value independent of fiat currencies.

Means the ratio of gold to the other alloying metals. Pure gold is too soft for most uses.
Yes, the phrase "just as good as a pile of gold" is a metaphor because it suggests that something is as valuable or desirable as a literal pile of gold, conveying the idea of high worth or importance.
That depends on the use. For some purposes, pure gold is good, since it conducts electricity very well and does not corrode. For other uses, such as in thin earrings etc., it is often preferable to mix the gold in an alloy, since it is so malleable that it is likely to lose the original shape.
