X-rays are a form of electro-magnetic radiation.

Alpha "rays" consist of helium nuclei expelled from large nuclei during a process called (no surprise) alpha decay.

What are the similarities and differences between Xrays and gamma rays?

X-rays and gamma rays are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, but they have different origins and energy levels. X-rays are typically produced through interactions with electrons in atoms, while gamma rays are emitted by the nucleus of an atom. X-rays have lower energy and can penetrate softer tissues, making them useful for medical imaging, while gamma rays have higher energy and are more penetrating, often used in fields like nuclear medicine and radiation therapy.
