Answer

$He: U_{92}^{238} -> Pb_{82}^{206} + 8\alpha_{2}^{4} + 6\beta_{-1}^{0}$ The $\alpha$-particles produced are eventually converted to Helium atoms. $Ne: Na_{11}^{22} -> Ne_{10}^{22} + \beta_{1}^{0}$ $Ar: K_{31}^{40} + e_{-1}^{0} -> Ar_{18}^{40}$ $Kr: U_{92}^{235} + n_{0}^{1} -> Kr_{36}^{85} + Ba{56}^{148} + 3n_{0}^{1}$ $Xe: U_{92}^{235} + n_{0}^{1} -> Sr_{38}^{90} + Xe{54}^{143} + 3n_{0}^{1}$ $Rn: Ra_{88}^{226} -> Rn_{86}^{222} + \alpha_{2}^{4} $
