The discovery of X-ray emissions from comets is important for solar system and astrophysical applications. It is believed that the underlying mechanism are charge-exchange collisions between the highly charged solar wind ions and the atoms and molecules present in the cometary and planetary atmospheres as well as in the interstellar gas. We describe a simple charge-exchange process of the form A^q+ + B ->A^(q-1)+* + B^+ and predict the spatial distribution of emitted X-rays and their polarizations by solving Schroedinger equation in quasi-molecular orbital approach.
