Why is the nucleus shaped like a spehere and why does it make the function possible?

Answer 1

According to scientists around the world they say that the nucleus is made of 88 protons and 138 neutrons and its not spherical but it is in a pear shape.

Answer 2

According to the article "Nuclear shapes" by Renee Lucas the nucleus's shape is mainly modified by vibrational and rotational features happening within the cell. According to the article if i read correctly "near closed shells spherical shapes prevail, while between closed shells the large number of valence nucleons in orbit with large particle angular momentum leads to nuclei with large deformations leading them to not only maintain its shape but also alloying it to work.
