Naphthalene is said to be somewhat soluble in ethyl alcohol (ethanol). It is insoluble in water and very soluble in ether, chloroform, or carbon disulfide.
Naphthalene soluble in alcohol but not in water because like dissolves like.
No naphthalene is an organic aromatic hydrocarbon.

Paradichlorobenzene dissolves in naphthalene because naphthalene is a solid and the other is a liquid. The solid dissolves the liquid.
Alcohol contains a polar hydroxyl group, whereas mothballs contain a non-polar compound. Mothballs formerly contained naphthalene, but now contain 1,4-dichlorobenzene.
naphthalene and iodine can be separated by sublimation
Iron filings removed magnetically. Water will dissolve sodium chloride and suspend sand. Sand can be filtered out of the solution, and salt reovered by evaporation of water. Naphthalene can be removed separately if necessary by solution of mixture in alcohol.
At standard temperature and pressure, naphthalene is a white crystalline solid.
Naphthalene is not an element. Naphthalene is a combination of elements. Its formula is C10H8 and it is a compound, not an element.
Most certainly, inhalation of naphthalene is dangerous!
