Answer 1. Organic means natural so they can decompose. Inorganic means not natural, these can't decompose. Answer 2. Organic means compounds (other than oxides) that contain one or more carbon atoms. It is not true that organic compounds decompose; there are many of them that don't decompose naturally. When these are discarded they pollute the environment for centuries. e.g. many alkanes, (from kerosene to candle-grease), lots of plastics, synthetic elastomers and many pesticides. It is also not true that inorganic compounds can't decompose. All the common chemical fertilisers are inorganic; if they couldn't decompose they would be no good as fertilisers.
