  1. X–rays are
    1. positively charged particles
    2. negatively charged particles
    3. neutral particles
    4. None of these
Correct Option: C

Like gamma rays and neutrons, X-rays are electrically neutral. They have neither a positive nor a negative charge. They cannot be accelerated or made to change direction by a magnet or electrical field. In contrast, charged subatomic particles comprise light charged particles (electrons and positrons) and heavy charged particles (protons, alpha particles and heavier ions).
