The fmale rat will sniff the male rat, while he sniffs her at the same time. You will need to watch them for about an hour to make sure they don't fight. If you do not want babies, keep them separate. The male rat will try to mount the female rat, if he is not spayed. If you do want babies leave them together for 10 days (If they don't fight.), and you will surely have babies 21 days after she got prego.
A male rat is a buck or bull. A female rat is a cow or doe A young rat is called calf or pup and other names.

No. Not the same species.
A male rat has testicles and a female does not! Take a peek under the tail! They are rather noticeable! If the male is neutered it may be more difficult. In that case compare the rat to another rat you are sure of the gender of. Male rats are a lot larger than females. Also you may be able to feel nipples on a female rat's stomach.
They would remain childless.
If the male is considered good enough by the female and she allows him close to her right away, male rats only take 5 seconds to mount a female and finish the job. The chances of him getting her pregnant are very high, even from only one mating session. From meeting to parting ways, it can take a minimum of 7 seconds for a female rat to become pregnant by a male. And you thought YOUR sex life sucked.
Female rats don't just turn into male rats. Sometimes a male rat's testes will be withheld in his body as a result of stress and he will appear to be female. Of course in such a situation, he is still male.
