The finished product is solid metal. It may be converted to liquid or even gaseous forms during the enrichment process, but Uranium is a metal which is solid at room temperature.

It is solid, but most atomic bombs aren't actually made from uranium, they are made from plutonium. Plutonium is easier to manufacturer than atomic grade uranium, but it is harder to get a good explosion from it, the North Korean bomb is an example of the problems, there bomb had a 1 kiloton blast, but should have given about 20 or 30 kiloton blast. Uranium makes a better bomb though, but it is difficult to get enough of it to make a good bomb.

It's eventualy extracted from the ore as Uranium Hexafluoride (Hex), which is a solid at room temperature. The hex is vapourised and passed through diffusers to separate the U235.

Liquid are too difficult to handle
