They are both have the same numerical value but what is the difference?
The molar mass is measured in grams. It is the mass of 1 mole of the substance.
The atomic mass is a relative measure based on the scale of 12C = 12.0000. It has no units. It is the mass of an average atom of an element compared to that of a carbon-12 isotope.
They are numerically the same, but represent different concepts.
The atomic mass of carbon = 12.011 (taking isotopes into account) The molar mass of carbon = 12.011g
Also note that the molar mass of a substance takes into account the nature of the smallest particles.
Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.01 Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2.02g
