No, organic material does not contain heavy metals.
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
It is thorium 234.
Decay of organic materials refers to the process by which dead plants, animals, and other organic matter are broken down by microorganisms, fungi, and other decomposers. This natural process involves the decomposition of complex organic compounds into simpler substances, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. Factors such as moisture, temperature, and the presence of oxygen significantly influence the rate of decay. Ultimately, decay is essential for soil health and the maintenance of ecological balance.

At the end of the decay process, particularly in the context of radioactive decay, what remains is often a stable nuclide or isotope, which may be a different element or a stable form of the original element. Additionally, the decay process may leave behind radiation in the form of alpha, beta, or gamma particles, depending on the type of decay. In broader terms, for organic matter, the decay process typically results in simpler organic compounds, minerals, and nutrients that can be recycled in the ecosystem.

Organic matter (or organic material) is matter that has come from a once-living organism; is capable of decay, or the product of decay; or is composed of organic compounds. The definition of organic matter varies upon the subject it is being used for.
The decay product ratio is the ratio of the amount of a specific decay product to the amount of the parent isotope in a radioactive decay chain. It is used to determine the relative contribution of different decay pathways in the decay of a radioactive substance.
The product.
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.
The intermediate product is neptunium 237 ( a very long-lived radioisotope).
It is thorium 234.
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.

Organic comes from the decay of the once living while fresh is not yet rotten.
The daughter product in the beta decay of 144Ce is 144Pr, which stands for promethium. Promethium is a radioactive element that forms as a result of the beta decay of cerium-144.
The product of beta decay of bismuth-209 is thallium-209. During beta decay, a neutron in the bismuth nucleus is converted into a proton, resulting in the emission of a beta particle (electron) and an antineutrino.
