<upd_detl>The English word "activity" typically refers to AN activity, which is not what 活性 means. The sense of "activity" which is useful here is the antonym of "passivity", and I think adding two additional glosses will help prevent misunderstanding.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>primarily used in compounds, e.g.  活性土 = active soil but it is also adj-no (and gg5 says adj-na)

i think it makes the most sense to gloss it as an adjective</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Noun use is not uncommon. GG5 and luminous have "activity". 
Doesn't appear to be adj-no judging from the top 活性の n-gram terms.</upd_detl>
