The properties that Mg, Ca and K do not have in common is "same number of valence electrons."

In the periodic table, elements are classified into groups and periods. The groups of elements show the relationships between them in terms of reactivity, valence electrons and physical properties.

Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. However, Ca, K and Mg are not in the same group so they can not have the same number of valence electrons. Ca and Mg has two valence electrons while K has only one valence electron.
