Solution
Calcium
Explanation:
Carbon, oxygen, and neon are all classified as non-metals and are found in the p-block of the periodic table. Calcium, on the other hand, is an alkaline earth metal (Group 2) and is categorised as a metal, making it distinct from the others in terms of physical and chemical properties.
