    The NaCl has more attraction as compare to KCl.

    Explanation:

    As we know down the group size is increases. As the size of K is greater than Sodium. Due to greater size of atom, the distance between the K and Cl is greater than NaCl. Due to greater distance between the atoms, attraction become less.

    Summary:

    Greater size (greater radius) between atoms, lesser will be attraction.
