==== If each atom becomes a negative ion: ====
* Chemical bonds change drastically: - Electrons are what define bonding. - Extra electrons mean orbitals get filled wrong or become unstable.
* Ordinary matter (like: - stars’ fusion processes - molecules - life chemistry …) would be seriously disrupted.

What would start happening:
# Electrons would escape Negative charges repel each other, so: - Atoms would try to shed the extra electrons. - You’d get gigantic currents and lightning-like discharges everywhere.
# Matter becomes a chaotic plasma - Extra electrons flying around. - Ionized atoms chasing charge balance. - Universe filled with radiation and high-energy EM fields.

Everything would try to get back to neutrality—but because you magically added electrons everywhere, there’s nowhere “neutral” to dump them. That’s why the whole universe itself becomes unstable.
