Difference 1. The Units
We generally use amu ( atomic mass unit) or u(unified mass) while talking about mass of atoms, molecules and ions.
On the other hand, We generally use gram (g) per mole when we talk about molar mass.
NOTE : 1 amu=1u = 1.67 * 10^24 g
Difference 2. The Meaning
Mass of an atom is called Atomic mass. And this is the mass of 1 atom of that element (like Hydrogen).
For example the mass of 1 atom of H is 1 amu.
Similarly, Molecular mass is the mass of one molecule of that kind.
For example Molecular mass of Ca(OH)2 is 74 amu.
