The atomic bomb is sphere shaped and weird.

An atomic explosion is made by taking two halves of a critical mass of fissile material (plutonium or U235) and pushing them together very rapidly. Atomic bombs use conventional explosives to move the fissile material fast enough. If it does not move fast enough it just overheats and melts, rather than exploding. That's the key to designing an atomic bomb. Good luck!
