Why does not the hydrogen atom emit X-rays?
Answer: C
Because its energy levels lie very close together.
X-rays are emitted when an electron falls into a vacancy in an inner shell of a heavy atom, where the binding energies are thousands of electron-volts. Hydrogen has a single electron and its largest transition energy is only 13.6 eV, which lies in the ultraviolet.
