na being most electropostive and cl being most ecectronegative combine with transfer of ions while carbon has 4 valency it can neither lose electro nor gain it prefer to share its electron hence forms covalent bond

Answer: It is a covalent bond
Explanation: The ionization potential of Carbon is very high compared to electronegativity of Chlorine. And since Carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell, it prefers to form a covalent bond. Hence CCl is a covalent compound
