The molecular formula for naphthalene is C10H8. Naphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compound in which two benzene rings are fused together to form the structure of this compound.
Naphthalene is not an element. Naphthalene is a combination of elements. Its formula is C10H8 and it is a compound, not an element.
the chemical formula for the mothballs is c10h8 while it's compound name is naphthalene
Yes, it LOOKS like an empirical formula BUT it is NOT a correct one:Either C9H20 or C8H18 are correct (both are saturated alkanes) but not C8H20
From the Wikipedia article on mothballs, "Older mothballs consisted primarily of naphthalene, but due to naphthalene's flammability, modern mothballs instead use 1,4-dichlorobenzene (also called para-dichlorobenzene, p-dichlorobenzene, or PDB)."
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.
naphthalene and iodine can be separated by sublimation
At standard temperature and pressure, naphthalene is a white crystalline solid.
Most certainly, inhalation of naphthalene is dangerous!
Gas Chromatography is an excellent technique for measuring naphthalene in water.
