Stating "a soft alloy with silver or copper" indicates an alloy of at least
two elements, where one of the elements is silver or copper.
It does not
mean pure silver or pure copper.
impurities, it is generally not considered an alloy - it just has some
impurities
Silver tarnish due to the formation of silver sulfide, not silver oxide.
Your table indicates that pure gold is more resistive than commercial gold.
These names have little meaning in terms of impurity content. Resistivity
is most affected by impurities that substitute at lattice sites, and is less
affected by interstitial impurities.
Resistivity is also sensitive to
synthesis parameters such as heat treatment temperatures
(grain size, defect density) and phase purity.
