Sure! Here are the electron configurations for each of the elements you mentioned, written in terms of their subshells:

1. **Neon (Ne)**:
- Atomic number = 10
- Electron configuration: **1s² 2s² 2p⁶**

2. **Iron (Fe)**:
- Atomic number = 26
- Electron configuration: **1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁶**

3. **Calcium ion (Ca²⁺)**:
- Atomic number of calcium = 20. When it loses 2 electrons, it typically loses them from the 4s subshell.
- Electron configuration: **1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁰ 4s⁰** (or simply, **[Ar]**, where [Ar] represents the noble gas configuration of argon)

4. **Gallium (Ga)**:
- Atomic number = 31
- Electron configuration: **1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p¹**

5. **Krypton (Kr)**:
- Atomic number = 36
- Electron configuration: **1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶**
