Homophones are words that sound the same, but have different meanings or uses... like to, two, and too.
Homonyms are words that are pronounced and spelled the same, but have different meanings or uses, like chair (that you sit on) and chair (of a department).
Many people, including English teachers, use "homonym" for both meanings, and it might eventually move to common usage that way, but that is the current distinction.
