A dehydration synthesis reaction involving un-ionized moners. .
In the dehydration synthesis reaction between two molecules of glucose, a hydroxyl group from the first glucose is combined with a hydrogen from the second glucose, creating a covalent bond that links the two monomeric sugars (monosaccharides) together to form the dissacharide maltose. In the process, a water molecule is formed.
