Best Answer

Yes, a hydrogen nucleus can emit an X-ray if it is excited sufficiently. All excited atomic nuclei can emit electromagnetic radiation. That's how they get coupled to their ground state. It is not unusual for highly energetic X-rays to be radiated from a nucleus that has become energized well above its ground state.
