how is the atomic mass number of a nucleus changed by beta decay

In a radioactive decay the nucleus of an atom changes; alpha decay create new atom entirely with two position below the original atom in the periodic table of element and with a mass less than the original element with a quantity of approximately 4amu.
 Beta decay creates isobars atoms with same masses but different atomic numbers, while gamma decay does not create new atom.
