There is no difference in the meaning of the word. It is essentially the same thing. There are just two differenct forms of the word. You're still dealing with radium, Uranium, americium, and other radioactive elements either way.

∙ 9y agoBoth are approaches for a nuclei to reach stability.
Radioactivity is the emission of radiation by the radioactive nuclei in its process to gain stability. This radiation could Alpha particles, beta particles (negative or positive), gamma electromagnetic radiation, neutrons, ect.
Fissionability is the splitting of a nuclide into two (rarely three) smaller nuclei plus other small particles as neutrons. This fission could be spontaneous fission or an induced fission (induced by e.g. neutron bombardment)

∙ 12y agoRadioactivity is the general property common to all radioactive materials. Radioactive is a qualifierused to identify materials having this general property.
Examples:
- The radioactivity of the sample was unusually high.
- Radioactive Carbon-14 levels in charcoal or bone can be used to determine age.

What is the difference between Ray's and Radiation's?
Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.
What is the difference between energy and radiation?
radiation is energy just one particular form of.
What Is the difference between all incoming radiation and all outgoing radiation?
Chuck norris
What is property in which unstable nuclei of an element spontaneously emit radiation?
Radioactivity
Which of you senses can detect radiation?
none of your senses can detect radioactivity by themselves
Is there a difference between radioactivity and radioisotopes?
yes
What is radioactivity and what is the difference between alpha beta and gamma radiation?
Alpha radiation is helium-4 nuclei - i.e., each alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.Beta radiation is either electrons or positrons (= anti-electrons). Gamma radiation is high-energy photons.
What type of radiation does radioactivity produces?
The Type Of Radiation That It Produce Is The Gamma Ray!
What is the difference between thermal and radioactive radiation?
There is no difference
What is the difference between Ray's and Radiation's?
Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.
Where does radioactivity start in an atom?
radioactivity start from the nucleus of an atom which becomes unstable n emit radiation
What is a radioactivity substances?
Substances that emit ionizing radiation
What is a fast moving electron that is given off as a nuclear radiation?
Beta radioactivity radiation.
Process which unstable nuclei emit radiation is called?
This process through which unstable nuclei emit radiation is called radioactive decay. It also is called nuclear decay, and it is a natural process in which an atom of an isotope decomposes into a new element.
What is the spontaneous disintegration in which particles or electromagnetic radiation are emitted?
Radioactivity
Can humans feel radioactivity?
Not actual radiation, but you feel the effects
What is the spontaneous disintegration in which particles and or electromagnetic radiation are emitted?
Radioactivity
