The difference is
Terminate sends the program a signal asking the program to end. The
program can then 'clean up' by closing files and the like before ending
Kill does not do this, it stops the computers operating system
allocating cpu time to the program, clears the memory and closes any
open files without writing any data to them.
(ON Linux the kill command does both things normally it tries to
terminate (kill pid) by sending a signal. However kill -9 (kill
--sigkill is a 'kill'
see man kill and man 7 signal for more details
