Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Ionic bonds are between non-metals and metals. Copper is a metal and oxygen is a non-metal; therefore, Copper II oxide is ionically bonded.

Why CuS is covalent compound while CuO is ionic compound?

Not sure about your examples but electronegativity variance is a good rule of thumb for deciding ionic from covalent bonds. Electronegativity variance less than 1.4, generally much less, indicates a covalent bonding. Electronegativity variance greater than 1.4 indicates ionic bonding.

Is Cuo a ionic or molcular?

The simplest description is that it is ionic, and the argument is that the difference in electronegativity causes a full transfer of electrons. It is high melting solid and certainly i not molecular. As with many metal oxides the real bonding is somewhere between ionic and covalent, and this is particularly true for metals other than those in group1 and 2. I personally do not like the categorisation of compounds into ionic and molecular. Many macro crystalline solids are covalent.
