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.

What is the molecular equation of CuNO32and NaS2?

For the molecular balance of the equation it would be: CuSO4 (aq) + Na2S (aq) = CuS (s) + Na2SO4 (aq). For the net ionic balance of the equation it would be: Cu2+ (aq) + S2(aq) = CuS (s).
