After a radioactive atom decays, it is the same element that it was before with no measurable change in mass. Which kind of decay has occurred, and how do you know?

A
alpha decay because it creates a new isotope of the same element
B
alpha decay because alpha particles have no mass
C
gamma decay because photons have no mass
D
beta decay because this kind of decay cannot change one element into another
