why don't elements products of trasmutation reactions have any charge on them?

Question

for example initial z=6 e=6 n=8 after alpha z=4 e= 6 n=6, so there would be a -2 charge assuming C-14 has alpha reaction

Answer 1

When you perform transmutation, you act on nuclei not on the electrons. It is possible due to great energy released that some atoms loose their electrons but this is a side effect
