Be+2 < Mg+2 < Ca+2 < Sr+2 < Ba+2 Size of ions

\large \xrightarrow{{BeC{l_2}\; < \;MgC{l_2}\; < \;CaC{l_2}\; < \;SrC{l_2}\; < \;BaC{l_2}}}\;percentage\;of\;ionic\;Character

As the size of cation increases polarizing power of cation decreases
Distortion of electron cloud in anion decreases hence sharing property of electron pair in M-Cl bond decreases means transfer of electron property increases
 Therefore, Ionic nature of bond increases
So, Barium compounds are ionic in nature
