X Rays are hi energy waves and are one of the highest! When compounds want to release energy, the rate at which it wants to and the amount it wants to get rid of vary its wavelength. If its not bothered by releasing too much energy and has all the time in the world it would release low energy waves like infrared. But if the compound is in a rush and wants to get rid of a huge amount of energy quickly it then produces higher energy waves like microwaves or Xrays. I think lead can produce xrays, but i cant remember how its done. i think you fire a neutron at it and it produces an xray. not entirely sure, you'll have to check.
