Best Answer

The fructose & glucose monomers in a sucrose polymer are held together using a glycosidic bond. A type of covalent bond that joins a carbohydrate (sugar) molecule to another group, which can be another carbohydrate (or not).

The bond requires "energy" in the form of an H20 molecule unlike the sugar compounds found in high fructose corn syrup. The energy in the glycosidic bond between glucose and fructose in sucrose is about 7 kcal/mol.

This is one of the big differences between eating "real" sugar and artificial "lab derived" sweeteners such as HFCS.

The type of Intra-molecular force or bonding acting upon a sucrose (organic - this is because it contains carbon and is a carbon compound) molecule are 'covalent bonds'. Whereas the intermolecular forces are: Dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding (due to the presence of hydrogen and oxygen).

"Ionic bond." Lol. That is absolutely not what the question is asking. Is an ionic bond a kind of glycosidic bond? The answer is that it is an alpha-beta-1,2-glycosidic bond.
