Mental ray is a renderer. You know how when you render, you see that little white line move down the picture? That's the scanline renderer. Mental ray is a different renderer that has more features.
Raytrace is a rendering technique used to calculate reflections and refractions for things like glass and water. You can read up on this
raytracing explanation (with awesome mspaint gfx!). Both the default Scanline renderer and mental ray can do raytracing.
