When a phosphate group is linked to OH of 5' C of a nucleoside through phosphoester linkage, a corresponding nucleotide is formed.
A nitrogenous base is linked to the OH of 1' C pentose sugar through a N-glycosidic linkage to form a nucleoside. 
Two nucleotides are linked through 3'-5' phosphodiester linkage to form a dinucleotide.
