No.  "An applicant who is legally separated from his or her spouse during the time period in which he or she must be living in marital union is ineligible to naturalize as the spouse of a U.S. citizen."  https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume12-PartG-Chapter2.html

 

How long have you been separated?

Look on the green card for the Resident Since Date.

 

You can apply 5 years after that Residency start date.

Since you are separated, you are eligible to apply only under 5 year rule and NOT the 3 year rule. Also, the 5 year clock starts from the time when you became an LPR, not when you got married.
