    Kinetic energy of alpha nucleus is equall to electrostatic potential energy of the system of the alpha particle and the heavy nucleus. That is,

    1
    mv2 =
    1
    qα Ze
    24πε0r0

    where r0 is the distance of closest approach
    r0 =
    2
    qα Ze
    4πε0mv2

    ⇒ r0 ∝ Ze ∝ qα
