The odd one out is *Potassium*.
Potassium is an alkali metal and belongs to Group 1 of the periodic table, which makes it quite different from the others on the list.
The rest, Silicon, Zirconium, Gallium, and Germanium, are elements that are either metalloids or metals, primarily found in different groups of the periodic table and exhibit unique chemical and physical properties.

Potassium is different because it's the only one that is an alkali metal. The others are either metalloids or other types of metals.

Gallium is also a possible answer. All except it are solid.

I think it should be Gallium because it can be liquid at room temperature or silicon because it is a non-metal, unlike all others.
