Cohesion
Is the attraction that molecules have for others of their same type.
Adhesion
Is the attraction that molecules have for others of different type by intermolecular forces.
A good example of both is water that can stick to itself through hydrogen bonds (cohesion) and can also stick to a glass due to adhesion.
So, while Cohesion is the force of attraction between adjacent particles within the same body, Adhesion is the interaction between the surfaces of different bodies.
