Yes. Water and sugar both contain hydroxyl groups, which consist of an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. Because of this shared particle level property, water and sugar molecules will attract each other, which is why sugar is so easily water-soluble.

What type of bond is foemed between sugar subunits?

A glycosidic bond is formed between sugar subunits through a condensation reaction, in which a hydroxyl group on one sugar molecule reacts with an anomeric carbon of another sugar molecule, releasing a molecule of water in the process.


What part of the DNA backbone do nitrogen bases bond to?

Nitrogen bases in DNA bond to the deoxyribose sugar molecules that make up the DNA backbone. The bond between the sugar and the base is a covalent bond known as a glycosidic bond.


What happen when cold water and mixed sugar is mixed?

The sugar dissolves, but not as fast as if the water were warm. If there's more sugar than that amount of water can hold at that temperature, then the sugar stops dissolving at some point, even if you keep stirring.


The bond that is formed between two glucose molecules is called what?

The bond formed between two glucose molecules is called a glycosidic bond. This linkage occurs through a condensation reaction, where a molecule of water is eliminated as the two glucose units join together.


Are sugar particles are chemically joined to water particles in sugar water?

Not quite in the way you may think. Sugar particles are solvated within water, meaning that water molecules will form solvated shells around sucrose (common table sugar) and result in the sucrose molecules becoming dispersed within the water. How the water interacts with the sucrose molecule is by hydrogen bonding with the sugar's polar groups, which is a strong molecular interaction, however is not quite a covalent chemical bond.

What is the bond that holds sugar and water together?

A covalent bond


Is sugar water mixture compound or solution?

Sugar water is a solution because the sugar molecules do not chemically bond to the water molecules.


Is sugar water a compound a mixture or a solution?

It's a solution, since the sugar is dissolved in water.


Is sugar water combination classified as a compound or a mixture?

A sugar water combination is classified as a mixture. This is because sugar and water retain their individual properties and do not chemically bond to form a new substance.


What type of bond is foemed between sugar subunits?

Can water dissolve more sugar or salt?

More sugar can dissolve in water than salt.


What property of water allows it to bond to objects?

The water molecule is an electric dipole. Its small size and its polarity which is caused by polar H-O bonds. This causes it to bond to other objects such as when sugar dissolves in water. However, it cannot bond to non-polar molecules which is why not everything dissolves in water.


What part of the DNA backbone do nitrogen bases bond to?

Nitrogen bases in DNA bond to the deoxyribose sugar molecules that make up the DNA backbone. The bond between the sugar and the base is a covalent bond known as a glycosidic bond.

Do sugars dissolve in water?

The molecules of sugar bond with the water molecules. This is because water is a solvent, which are substances that can bond to another kind of subtances easily. Note: Water is considered the universal solvent, because it is considered to be the strongest substance to dissolve most substances.
