It is a simple consequence of the intermolecular forces of naphthalene. There is no simple, straight-forward explanation beyond that.

What solid sublimes on heating?
Some solids are Carbon dioxide, Snow, Iodine and Naphthalene
What kind of solids are iodine and naphthalene?
Iodine is a chemical element; naphtalene is an organic compound. They can sublimes at room temperature.
What happens when naphthalene is added to water?
Naphtalene is not soluble in water.
What happens when a solid sublimes?
When ice sublimes, the molecules at the edge of the ice escape into the gas phase as water vapor. The solid phase thus turns directly into the gas phase without an intermediary liquid phase. Ice sublimes quite slowly under normal conditions, but dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimes readily at everyday temperatures and pressures.
Is naphthalene a base?
No naphthalene is an organic aromatic hydrocarbon.
Naphthalene sublimes easily but potassium bromide does not How could you separate these two substances?
Dry ice sublimes
Why mothballs turn small?
Mothballs are often made from naphthalene. Naphthalene sublimes, that is it goes straight from solid to gas.
What solid sublimes on heating?

What kind of solids are iodine and naphthalene?
Iodine is a chemical element; naphtalene is an organic compound. They can sublimes at room temperature.
Why does the size of naphthalene balls reduce if it is kept in open?
because it sublimes in the air. in easier language it dissolved n air easily
Why do napthalene balls kept in woollens disappear on their own after one season?
Naphthalene sublimes over time. That means it turns into vapour which disappears into the air.
What are examples of substances that changes to solid from gas?
That is a substance that sublimes. It is not common. Naphthalene (old-fashioned moth balls), also carbon dioxide (dry ice)
What happens to the temperature of naphthalene during melting?
Lab: Melting / Freezing Point of NaphthaleneObjective: In this lab, you will investigate the melting and freezing point of the substance, naphthalene (moth ball flakes). You will heat solid naphthalene and record temperature changes and examine the graph to determine the melting point of the substance. You will then cool naphthalene and record temperature changes in order to determine the Freezing point of the substance Part A: What happens to temperature as naphthalene melts?Objective: As heat is applied to liquid naphthalene, the temperature rises. As the temperature rises, the naphthalene will eventually start to melt. This lab experiment tries to answer the question: what happens to the temperature of naphthalene as it melts? In this lab, you will heat the liquid naphthalene, and record the temperature changes. You will graph the temperature changes before drawing any conclusions.Part B: Determining the freezing point of naphthaleneObjective: Freezing point is a characteristic property of matter. As heat is taken away from a liquid, the temperature of that liquid decreases as the substance begins to freeze. This lab experiment tries to answer the question: what is the freezing point of an unknown liquid (naphthalene)? In this lab, you will cool liquid naphthalene, and record the temperature changes. You will graph the temperature changes before drawing any conclusions.
What happens when a substance changes from a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid?
It sublimes
What happens when you add dry ice to warm water?
There will be fake fog as it sublimes
What else skips its 2nd state of matter besides dryi ice?
solid iodine, paradichlorobenzene, naphthalene, and many solid organic substances. Regular ice also sublimes if the tempeature is low enough.
Can sulfur sublime?
Yes, it is possible at temperatures between 25 0C and 50 0C. Besides substances such as naphthalene, ammonium chloride, iodine, dry ice, camphor and anthracene, sulphur also sublimes.
