Li is small atom and thus have comparatively compactly arranged electrons..

It seizes the Cl atom to take away its electron...thus it have covalent bond rather than ionic..

K is bigger in size..have weak nuclear attraction...screening and shielding effect is more in K,..therefore can form gud ionic bonds....
