Molecular, gas phase, BaCl2 is an exception to VSEPR theory as it is bent rather than linear with a bond angle of 115 0

The originator of VSEPR . Professor Gillespie has an explanation but other chemists are not convinced.

Barium chloride is usually encountered as an ionic compound, containing Ba2+ and Cl- ions.
