Yes, naphthalene balls have the property of sublimation. This means that they transition directly from a solid state to a gaseous state without passing through a liquid state. When exposed to air, naphthalene balls slowly vaporize and release a strong odor.
Naphthalene or moth balls sublimate(change from a solid to a gas) so they can "disappear" without wetting the clothes.
Naphthalene is a white solid substance with a strong smell. Poisoning from naphthalene destroys or changes red blood cells so they cannot carry oxygen. This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911).
the chemical formula for the mothballs is c10h8 while it's compound name is naphthalene
Carbon dioxide (CO2), iodine (I2), "moth balls," which are mostly naphthalene (C10H8), and arsenic (As) at really high temperatures.
Naphtalene is used as a repellant against moths but not especially in toilets.
Most certainly, inhalation of naphthalene is dangerous!

they're called mothballs-for moths.
naphthalene balls
Naphthalene (ingredient of napalm)
Because it sublimes (changes directly from a solid to a vapor) at room temperature. naphthalene balls are vaporisable substance so they easily turn into vapor , they can turn into vapor because the intermolecular force is very weak so it easily vaporises to gas
The process is called sublimation.
Naphthalene (mothballs) comes from coal tar.
Napthlene balls sublimates (turns into vapour) when heated...
Moth balls are made of naphthalene, a compound that contains hydrogen and carbon atoms. They are used to keep away moths.
