Hombre es usado para diferenciar el género (man or male).
Caballero (gentleman) es alguien educado (moralmente), generalmente atribuido al comportamiento educado ante una mujer.

Hi, and welcome to Spanishdict! You can answer this question for yourself by looking those two words up in the Dictionary here. The definitions are pretty clear. I'm sure that you'll get any number of explanations any minute now, but the dictionary is good. Try it!
