Expert Answer
A phosphate bond links the 3′ carbon of one sugar of one nucleotide with the hydroxyl group of the 5′ carbon of the sugar of the succeeding nucleotide. This results in the formation of an ester bond. Because such an ester bond is formed on either side of the nucleotide, it is called a phosphodiester bond.
