Mortar is a thick paste used to bind bricks or stones together, while grout is a thinner mixture used to fill gaps between tiles or masonry.
White mortar is the same as gray except it has been bleached. White thinset is needed if you are using a light tile with light grout.
Grout is a substance that is used to fill gaps between tiles, such as in a shower or bathroom. Grout may be made of small aggregate, sand, and Portland cement. It may also be made of Portland cement or masonry cement and sand. There are many different types of cement, and these are usually used as an ingredient with which to make concrete and mortar.
Concrete generally has larger aggregate than mortar.

To install tile on a concrete floor, first clean and level the surface. Apply a layer of thin-set mortar, then lay the tiles in a desired pattern. Use spacers to maintain even spacing between tiles. Allow the mortar to dry completely before grouting the tiles. Apply grout between the tiles, wipe off excess grout, and seal the grout lines for a finished look.

You can but it wont look very nice, if you use grout you get a smoother joint and you have lots of color choises.
To install floor tile, first prepare the surface by cleaning and leveling it. Then, apply thin-set mortar with a trowel and place the tiles in a desired pattern. Use spacers to maintain even spacing between tiles. Once the mortar is dry, grout the tiles by spreading grout over the joints and wiping off excess. Finally, seal the grout to protect it from stains and moisture.
To lay ceramic tile on concrete, first clean and level the concrete surface. Apply a layer of thin-set mortar using a trowel, then place the tiles in the desired pattern. Use spacers to maintain even spacing between tiles. Once the mortar has dried, apply grout between the tiles and wipe off excess grout with a damp sponge. Allow the grout to dry completely before walking on the tiles.
To install tile on a wall, first prepare the surface by cleaning and priming it. Then, apply thinset mortar to the wall using a notched trowel. Press the tiles into the mortar, spacing them evenly with tile spacers. Allow the mortar to dry, then grout the tiles by spreading grout over them and wiping off excess with a damp sponge. Finally, seal the grout to finish the installation.
