Praseodymium, other Elements, and their Magnetic Properties vs. radioactivity

In summary, praseodymium, along with other elements, exhibits unique magnetic properties due to its electronic structure, which influences how it interacts with magnetic fields. Unlike radioactive elements, which undergo decay and emit radiation, praseodymium and similar elements primarily display stable magnetic characteristics without the associated hazards of radioactivity. This distinction highlights the differences in behavior and applications between magnetic and radioactive materials in various scientific and industrial contexts.

Question: Does the magnetic properties of an element, like Praseodymium, vary with radioactivity?

That is, in general, does radioactivity (perhaps beta decay or alpha decay) subtly or otherwise alter the electronic structure enough to alter magnetic properties? The case for beta decay may be the more intetesting...
