Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) is composed of Calcium and Chlorine with Calcium having a partial positive charge and Chlorine having a partial negative charge. This means that the intermolecular forces will include dipole forces and London forces.

Sold BaCl2 is ionic- not molecular. It has a lattce containing Ba2+ and Cl- ions. The chemical bonding is ionic.

Molecular gas phase BaCl2 ( a bent molecule- exception to VSEPR) would experience intermolecular forces, dipole-dipole as the molecule is polar due to electronegtivity difference between Ba and Cl and London dispersion forces

Boron trichloride (trichloor boran): BCl3, is a gas above 12.6oC (at st.P.).

It surely is not ionic, and unlike AlCl3 it is not a crystalic solid but a gas.

It has no dipole moment (trigonal planar molecule with 120o Cl-B-Cl corners, so the 3-fold internal dipoles of those (0.175 nm) short bonds is compensated to zero).

It doesn't form dimers in contrast with boran, BH3, which is the UNstable parent of its dimer: diborane, B2H6.

Because all of this, it looks like BCl3 having 'low or no' intermolacular forces.
