Disaccharide
Glucose and glucose monosaccharides join together to form maltose through a condensation reaction, where a water molecule is removed. Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units linked by an alpha-1,4 glycosidic bond.

Sucrose, which is used as table sugar.

Disaccharide
The functional group that links monosaccharides in a disaccharide is the glycosidic bond. It forms between the anomeric carbon of one monosaccharide and a hydroxyl group of another monosaccharide, resulting in the formation of a covalent bond.
Single monosaccharide glucose molecules may join together by a condensation reaction/dehydration synthesis reaction to form a disaccharide called maltose.

Yes, galactose is a monomer, or more specifically a monosaccharide, due to the fact that it is a simple sugar. It is one of the three most common sugars present in biology, along with glucose and fructose, and is able to bond with other simple sugars to form chains, or carbohydrates.

Sucrose, which is used as table sugar.
Polysaccharides are formed through a process known as condensation reaction, where monosaccharide units join together through glycosidic bonds, releasing a molecule of water for each bond formed. This process repeats to create long chains of monosaccharide units, resulting in the formation of polysaccharides like starch, cellulose, and glycogen.

This isn't really a question, but ... When two monosaccharide molecules join to form one disaccharide molecule, a molecule of water is released. This is called a dehydration (or synthesis) reaction. So in the reverse reaction, when one disaccharide is broken down into two monosaccharides, a molecule of water must be added. This is called an hydrolysis reaction.
When molecules of sugar join together they form either disaccharides (two sugar units) or polysaccharides (many sugar units). Examples of disaccharides include sucrose (table sugar) and lactose (milk sugar), while examples of polysaccharides include starch and cellulose.
A monomer is a single unit that can bond with other similar units to form a polymer, while a monosaccharide is a specific type of monomer that is the building block of carbohydrates. Monosaccharides are sugars that can exist independently or combine to form more complex carbohydrates, while monomers can be molecules of various types that join together to create polymers.
