I think ionic, but I don't know why . . . barium is a metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. barium needs to transfer two electrons to form a +2 cation. each chlorine atom can gain one electron, to form -1 anions. One barium will need two chlorine atoms to form barium chloride, BaCl2, which has ionic bonding.

Barium chloride, being an ionic compound, exhibits ionic bonding. This means that it forms when barium, a metal, transfers one of its electrons to chlorine, a non-metal, resulting in the formation of positively charged barium ions and negatively charged chloride ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.
