Answer:
Take E(alpha particle energy) = 5.5 MeV (5.5x106x1.6x10-19)
If the charge on the lead nucleus is +82e(atomic number of lead is 82) = +82x1.6x10-19 C and the charge on the alpha particle is +2e = 2x1.6x10-19 C
Using dc = (1/4πεo)qQ/Eα we have
dc = [9x10^9x(2x1.6x10-19x82x1.6x10-19)]/5.5x10-13 = 6.67x10^-13m. = 6.67 x 10^-13 x 10^15 = 6.67 x 10^2fm
Note: 1meter = 10^15fentometer
Explanation:
This is well inside the atom but some eight nuclear diameters from the centre of the lead nucleus.

Isotope ¹⁸F⁻ contains:
1) p⁺ = 9; number of protons.
Fluorine has a<span>tomic number Z = 9 (total number of protons).
2) e</span>⁻<span> = 10; </span>number of electrons.<span>
In element number of electrons and protons are the same, because element has neutral charge, but because in this example, fluorine is anion with negative charge, it has one electron more.
3) n</span>° = 9; number of neutrons.
<span>Mass number
A = 18 is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus, so number of neutrons is A-Z = 18-9=9.</span>
I think the answer would be Ga3+
