Technically, "Helvetica" is a font whereas "sans-serif" is a type of font.
A sans-serif font does not have small strokes at the ends of lines in letters. Sans-serif fonts include "Helvetica" and "Arial." Compare these to serif fonts like "Times New Roman," which have these 'strokes,' and you'll be able to see the difference.

Helveticais the name of a font family. San-Serif means that it does not have the small bars at the ends of the letter lines i.e the letter "l" does not have a small bar at the bottom.
Edit
the font "Times New Roman" is a serif font while the fonts (style of letters) that you see on this web page are all san-serif.
