Dear student,

Cohesion or cohesive attraction or cohesive force in chemistry is the intermolecular attraction between like-molecules.

Adhesion:
Two materials may form a compound at the join. The strongest joins are where atoms of the two materials swap (ionic bonding) or share (covalent bonding) outer electrons. A weaker bond is formed if oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine atoms of the two materials share a hydrogen nucleus (hydrogen bonding).
