Former situation: there is one electron
New situation: there are two electrons
Genie is being lazy and interprets that as: Add one electron to the universe, and attach it to any of the atoms available.
I’d add a proton, tbh

Can someone ELI5 what would happen?
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.
I’m sorry but applying negativity or positivity to atoms and electrons is classic anthropomorphism.
Does anyone have a real explanation?
