chance
I would usually translate atzar as chance and aleatorietat as randomness. They are both similar but here's how I would define the difference:
ATZAR - sense ordre o plantejament (without order or specific approach)
ALEATORI - Que depèn de la sort o de l'atzar (it depends on luck or chance)
ATZAR - sense ordre o plantejament (without order or specific approach)
ALEATORI - Que depèn de la sort o de l'atzar (it depends on luck or chance)

randomness & luck
Generally I'd say randomness = aleatorietat and luck or chance = atzar, but the exact context is needed. ;.)
