I just want to know the concept behind the weapon which destroyed the entire planet.

It creates a field that negates the strong nuclear force, causing electrons to split off from atoms, resulting in a chain reaction that affects any matter in relatively close proximity. It was originally used as a mining tool to reduce asteroids to dust to mine the ores as particulates, but was rigged into a weapon. It hasn't officially been converted from the mining device into the M.D. device in the series, but it's pretty obvious.

Wouldn't it completely atomize the entire asteroid, or I'm guessing there are different levels of power?

Yeah, they didn't realize the destructive power and almost got themselves killed testing it. But it's still useful, it didn't reduce everything to hydrogen, it just broke down bonds in molecules resulting in clumps of unbonded atoms floating around. It was basically a very dense cloud of iron dust that they could pick up.
