"Photons are called x-rays if they are produced by electron interactions. An x-ray photon has a wavelength of 0.01 to 10 nanometres, with a frequency of 3×1016 Hz to 3×1019 Hz. It possesses enough energy (100 eV to 100 keV) to disrupt molecular bonds and ionise atoms making it, by definition, ionising radiation."

"A photon is, in simple terms, an elementary force-carrying particle i.e. a boson 2 (obeys the statistical law of Bose-Einstein). It has a zero mass (rest mass) and travels at, c, the speed of light in vacuo. It is defined as stable with no electric charge and exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties (so-called wave-particle duality). The magnitude of photon energy is directly proportional to frequency (E = hν) and inversely proportional to wavelength (E = hc/λ). For the sake of this article, a photon refers to an uncharged particle used to describe the particle portion of an electromagnetic wave."
