Final answer:

The elements indicated by each electron configuration are Neon (Ne), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K).

Step-by-step explanation:

The element with the electron configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶ is Neon (symbol: Ne). Neon has 10 electrons and its electron configuration is 1s²2s²2p⁶. The electron configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p³ corresponds to the element Phosphorus (symbol: P). Phosphorus has 15 electrons and its electron configuration is [Ne]3s²3p³. The electron configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹ corresponds to the element Potassium (symbol: K). Potassium has 19 electrons and its electron configuration is [Ar]4s¹.
