hello friend,
why cucl is covalent??
--cucl is more covalent than nacl because cu has same size as that of na & cucl has pseudonobal gas configration due to which it has 18 electrons in outermost shell than na cl which has 8 elctrons.
________________________
why nacl is ionic??
--NaCL is ionic due to presence of positive charge on Na+ (sodium ion) and negative charge on CL- (chloride ion ) which cause attractive force between them and formation of theionic bond between two ions .
--it is not covalent bond as there isn't participation between two atoms Na and CL.
