Are they the same thing? Are they different? Is it a thing like all radioactivity is radiation but not all radiation is radioactivity? Thanks!

Radioactivity would pretty much be the process of emitting particles due to nucleus instability.
Radiation, colloquially, would mean the same thing. Formally, all forms of particle and electromagnetic emission are “radiation,” but even moderately formal usage would imply the *harmful* version of radiation.
