You know how when you put magnet faces together with the same polarity, they push against each other. If you squeeze them together they will pop away. When an atom has an extra electron, it makes its charge more negative. If all of the atoms have extra electrons, all of their charges will be more negative. Now imagine every single atom in the universe was suddenly the same polarity and began pushing all other atoms away. I’ll let your imagination take over from there.
Oh, I see. I read it wrong at first. I thought it was saying add one electron total, I didn’t realize it meant one to each atom. It makes a lot more sense now.

You’ve clearly never met a 5-year-old
Extra electrons make atoms go 'splodey.
When I was younger, I would often splodey too when thinking about Carmen electron
Much better!
I’m sorry but applying negativity or positivity to atoms and electrons is classic anthropomorphism.
Does anyone have a real explanation?
Hey those fucking atom bastards are nothing but negativity. They know what they did.
No no no you misunderstand the atom! At their heart they’re all positive, it’s just a shell of negativity due to fear of attachment!
