Nacl is an ionic compound which has sufficient hydration energy to overcome the lattice energy of crystal Nacl to make a dipole interaction with the water bonds and oppositely charged ions makes a great interaction to create the bond.
on the other hand cucl is a convalent compound which can not overcome the lattice energy because of te greater polarization of cu+ ions as a result it can not dissolve in water....
