Dear Raj,

ionic,covalent,coordinate and hydrogen bonds

ionic in formation of CuSO4 and covalent in SO4 ion...
coordinate in SO4 with CuSO4 and H-bonding due to presence of O.

Remember CuSO4 is ionic compound but when it is hydrated, 5 molecules are also attached to it, Leading to formation of hydrogen bond with one of the water molecule. Other four are Coordinated.

* Structure of CuSO₄.5H₂O in the solid state is shown below. The Cu²⁺ ions are attracted towards SO₄^2-ions not only by ionic interactions (electrovalent) but also by coordinate covalent bonds. The Cu²⁺ ions form coordinate covalent bonds with water as well as sulfate ions.

There are covalent bonds in water and sulfate ions.

There is also hydrogen bonding between water and sulfate ions. Only four water molecules are forming dative bonds with Cu²⁺. The fifth molecules is involved in H-bonding.
