The atoms that make up soft tissue are smaller and are incapable of absorbing X-rays while atoms that make up bones are more capable of absorbing X-rays.
X-rays belong to the electromagnetic spectrum. They are composed of high energy radiation which penetrates soft tissue but are readily absorbed by the calcium atoms in the bone.
The soft tissue are composed of smaller atoms which can not absorb X-rays. Hence, X-rays can pass through soft tissue and reach the bone where calcium atoms can absorb them quite well.
This absorption of X-rays in bones is very important in medicine.
