X-rays have a higher energy than ultraviolet rays; less than gamma rays. Therefore, they are between the two. Usually the EM spectrum is shown from left to right in order of increasing frequency; in this case, X-rays are near the right side, next to gamma rays, which are on the far right.

An x-ray is an electromagnetic wave.

X-rays are at the high frequency end of the spectrum, beyond ultraviolet rays. X-rays and gamma rays are essentially the same thing.
