Assume that two of the electrons at the negative terminal have attached themselves to a nearby neutral atom. there is now a negative ion with a charge −2e at this terminal. what are the electric potential and electric potential energy of the negative ion relative to the electron?

The electric potential of the negative ion relative to the electron is the same since they both have the same magnitude and direction. The electric potential energy of the negative ion is twice that of the electron since the ion has two negative charges.
