A nuclear weapon completely vaporizes itself and anything that is very close. This vapor is largely vaporized metals but will include many other elements. As this vapor cools the oxygen in air will convert it to metal oxides and other oxides (most of which will be radioactive due to the neutron radiation at the time of detonation). The vast majority of these various oxides will condense out as solids on dust and sand grains. However any sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides will remain gaseous and can combine with water later to form acid rain.
Some radioactive Noble Gases (e.g. Xenon) are also emitted.

Why are nuclear weapons a good thing?
Nuclear weapons are a good thing for the United States because they prevent others from using nuclear weapons on the US. In general, the world would probably be a better place without nuclear weapons if it weren't for the fact that they lead to research in all fields of Nuclear Engineering, like Nuclear Power plants and Nuclear Physics. Since nuclear weapons already exist in the world, for the US to get rid of their nuclear weapons would be unwise. Countries that dislike nuclear weapons or even radical terrorist cells and organizations would now have no reason not to launch a nuclear warhead at the US since no retaliation would occur. The strategy of nuclear weapons preventing others from using them against the US is called the Deterrent Strategy.
