Creating bonds lowers the energy state.

Thus breaking bonds requires energy: energy is absorbed.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

The bond between the 2 Cl atoms in a Cl₂ molecule is a covalent bond.
to break this covalent bond, energy is required.
when new bonds form, energy is released as the bond formation makes the molecule stable. molecules with low energy levels are usually stable.
To break the covalent bond, energy is required in other words energy is absorbed.
therefore to break the covalent bond in Cl₂ molecule
1)energy is absorbed

Answer:

Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of alpha D gluose and beta D fructose linked together by beta 2,alpha1 glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

The specificity of glycosidic linkage very much essential to choose the substrate for the synthesis of specific disaccharide.

For example sucrose contain beta 2,alpha1 glycosidic linkage that means the hydroxyl group of anomeric carbon of one monosaccharide(fructose) should remain in beta conformation and the hydroxyl group of other monosaccharide(glucose) should remain in alpha conformation.
