for the manufacture of chlorine using mang anese dioxide we do get manganese chlorid e but we also get chlorine gas because the t wo chlorine atoms attract each other and be cause neither of them can lose electrons bu t have equally high electronegativities they t end to attract and this is only because we u sed 4 hydrogen chloride atoms So in other cases we would only get manganese chlori de but not chlorine gas
