it is because Na and O are bonded by ionic bond which when breaks is basic in nature.
while the H and Cl are bonded by covalent bond which when breaks is acidic in nature.

Answer:
NaOH is a base because it forms a sodium cation and a hydroxide ion in aqueous solution, Na+(aq) , and OH−(aq) . Acids give up hydrogen ions, H+(aq) in aqueous solutions. An example of an acid is hydrochoric acid, HCl(aq) . Acids and bases react to form a salt and water.
Hypochlorous acid (HClO, HOCl, or ClHO) is a weak acid that forms when chlorine dissolves in water, and itself partially dissociates, forming hypochlorite, ClO−. Chlorine species distribution in solution is a function of pH. In aqueous solution, HOCl is the predominant species at the pH range of 3 to 6
