They might very well. But you might then be left with hundreds or thousands of smaller objects that can still do damage over a larger area. It is not necessarily the solution depending on a lot of factors like the size and velocity of the original asteroid.

Can you blow up a nuke in space?
It's possible, though it's (probably... see below) prohibited by both the Outer Space Treaty and the Partial Test Ban Treaty of 1963. All countries known to possess nuclear weapons capability, with the exception of North Korea, have ratified at least one of these (North Korea has signed, but not ratified, the Outer Space Treaty).Whether or not a non-weapon nuclear explosion (for example: using a nuclear device as a sort of improved dynamite for, say, mining purposes) would violate the Outer Space Treaty is an interesting legal question, since the treaty expressly refers to nuclear weapons and goes on to say that the use of any equipment or facility necessary for peaceful exploration shall not be prohibited. This could potentially eventually become important.

Why are nuclear weapons so bad?
They can blow up earth.Think about Herishima.Similar thing will going to happen if the nuclear weapons are usedNo one has built or will build a nuclear weapon or enough nuclear weapons to "blow up the earth", it would have no military value. However the collateral damage in fallout from any major attack would likely kill far more people than the attack itself, and those results are unpredictable.

How do you blow up the send the asteroid away in dead space?
You don't blow it up, you send it away so people can pick up the SOS. You must slow down the engines that have light going towards the asteroid and shoot them ( they blow up.) Watch out for aliens that come your way. Next you jump on the asteroid and get out of the ship. Then you destroy the generators outside. You can finally plant the SOS on the asteroid. Then you go back inside and go to the controll room and launch the asteroid. As soon as you do that, aliens show up, so be careful...
