Radioactivity is the term defined as the emission of energy from subatomic particles.
Radiation
Emission of radiant energy can occur in the form of waves or particles, depending on the specific situation. For example, light is an example of radiant energy that travels in waves, while photons are particles that can also carry radiant energy.
The term defined as a measure of the energy of motion of particles is kinetic energy. It is dependent on the mass and velocity of an object.
Spontaneous emission is the process where an unstable atom or molecule releases energy in the form of particles (such as photons) or waves without any external stimulation. This emission occurs when an excited atom or molecule transitions to a lower energy state, releasing the excess energy in the process.

No, radiation is not a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object. Radiation refers to the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or particles from a source. The energy of radiation can vary depending on the type and source, and it is not directly related to the average kinetic energy of particles in an object.

Nuclear radiation is the emission of high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves from the nucleus of an atom. It can take the form of alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, or neutron radiation, and it can be ionizing, meaning it has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms.
