Solution
Potassium
Explanation:
Magnesium, calcium, and beryllium all belong to Group 2 of the periodic table, collectively known as the alkaline earth metals. Potassium, however, belongs to Group 1, known as the alkali metals, which makes it much more reactive and gives it a different valency compared to the other three.
