Here are three short 'property' puzzles I wrote.
In each puzzle the words to the left of the colon all have a (non-trivial) property that the word to the right of the colon does not have. What is that property? Note that it is a different property in each puzzle, and that they are ordered roughly in increasing difficulty.
- DANGLE, HEIGHT, LEASE, RANGE, SELECTION, TRAP, TRUSTIES : EARTH
- CARBON, COPPER, IRON, NEON, SILICON, TIN, XENON : GOLD
- ADJUST, ALHAMBRA, CALAIS, DRAMA, MAYOR, SMOKES, PANIC : ADVISE
An answer containing the solution to all three will be accepted.

@Evargalo Due to how short they are (and their similar puzzle structure) I thought it would be better to post them as one puzzle. Are there any guidelines on this?

I think it's fine that they're together! I agree that posting them separately would probably be a bit too "spread-out". (It would be nice if there was something linking them together to justify having them in the same question, but that does seem a bit hard to do for this type of puzzle.)

First puzzle
New words can be formed by placing the first letter at the end. (e.g. DANGLE → ANGLED).
EARTH has the reverse property: it becomes a new word by placing the final letter in front (HEART)
Full list:
DANGLE → ANGLED
HEIGHT → EIGHTH
LEASE → EASEL
RANGE → ANGER
SELECTION → ELECTIONS
TRAP → RAPT
TRUSTIES → RUSTIEST
Second puzzle
Words can be formed using element symbols (e.g. C-Ar-B-O-N).
GOLD does not have this property, since neither G nor Go is an existing element symbol.
Full list:
CARBON → C-Ar-B-O-N
COPPER → C-O-P-P-Er
IRON → Ir-O-N
NEON → Ne-O-N
SILICON → Si-Li-C-O-N
TIN → Ti-N
XENON → Xe-N-O-N
Third puzzle
Biblical names can be formed form the words after removing one letter (e.g.: ADJUST - T = JUDAS)
ADVISE does not have this property.
Full list:
ADJUST - T = JUDAS
ALHAMBRA - L = ABRAHAM
CALAIS - L = ISAAC
DRAMA - R = ADAM
MAYOR - O = MARY
SMOKES - K = MOSES
PANIC - P = CAIN
