No, radioactive decay is not the same as organic decay. The basic difference between radioactive decay and organic decay is that in organic decay, chemical compounds break down and the biochemical structure of the subject changes. This is a natural process that any biological structures will undergo, or it could be induced. In either case, it represents a chemical change. In radioactive decay, the actual atomic nuclei of atoms will break down in some way, depending on the substance being considered. It is the unstable atomic nucleus of given isotopes of elements that undergoes the change, and this is a nuclear or atomic change.

alpha decay.
Beta Decay.
you have to know what radioactive decay is.
Einsteinium as a radioactive element has itself a radioactive decay.
yep, sure are

Flying a kite is not the same as the wind blowing, but you need one for the other. Radioactive decay is not the same as radioactive dating, but you need the decay to get the date. Radioactive isotopes each of a characteristic decay rate and if one knows the amount of such an isotope in an object when it was created, the level of radioactivity decreases predictably with age and one can calculate the age by knowing the decrease. Radioactive decay is good for a lot of other things too, just like the wind.

The atomic mass of a radioactive atoms is changed during the radioactive decay (alpha decay, neutron decay, proton decay, double proton decay), spontaneous or artificial fission, nuclear reactions.
Radioactive decay may or may not involve electrons. There are different types of radioactive decay.

The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
when an isotope is it does not undergo radioactive decay
Yes because they look at the ammount of radioactive decay and they can determine the age of the granite. As the radioactive isotope decreases the non radioactive element increases. The less radioactive decay ammount there is the older it is.
