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

∙ 13y agoNaphthalene is a sublime substance. sublimation is a property due to which a substance convert from solid pahse to vapor phase directly without converting into the liquid phase and vice versa.

∙ 11y agowhen we put fire on naphthlene balls it dosent goes to liquid status
it forms into gasses state there fore it dosent leave any solid this is the reason that why naphthlene balls disappear

∙ 12y agoNaphthalene balls disappear with time without leaving any solid, because naphthalene balls sublime and directly changes into vapor state without leaving any solid.

∙ 14y agothey are solids and they sublime when kept in open places, that is, they directly changes from solids into gaseous states

∙ 13y agonaphthalene balls disappear with time because they undergo the process of sublimation in which solids directly change to gas without going through liquid state.

Why does a diamond change directly from a solid state to a gaseous state?
this is a property of some substances in which they directly change from solid to liquids called sublimation another example is naphthalene balls Sublimation = solid - gas the solid is called sublimate
What are moth balls made of?
Moth Balls and also Flakes are generally made up of Camphor/ Naphthalene or of paradichlorobenzene. Both chemicials sublimate, transitioning straight from a solid into a gas. The toxic vapours build up when in enclosed spaces and will kill both the adult moth and also the larvae. They are also toxic to humans and should be used with caution and out of reach of children and animals.
How do naphthalene balls become smaller. name the process?
The process is called sublimation.
What happens when the napthalene balls were exposed to the sunlight?
They sublimate: that is go from solid to vapour phase without melting.
What element is in moth balls?
Moth balls are made of naphthalene, a compound that contains hydrogen and carbon atoms. They are used to keep away moths.
Explain why naphthalene or moth balls disappear without wetting the clothes?
Naphthalene or moth balls sublimate(change from a solid to a gas) so they can "disappear" without wetting the clothes.
Where did your moth balls go 6 months ago you put them in your camper and now there gone why?
Naphthalene or moth balls sublimate(change from a solid to a gas) so they can "disappear."
Why oddonil balls disappear?
Because they sublimate.
Name the process to separate NaCl from a solution of NaCl and water?
Naphthalene is a sublimate. A sublimate is a substance which changes directly from the solid state to the gaseous state and vice-versa. So, by utilising this property, we can separate the mixture of sodium chloride and naphthalene by heating it. The naphthalene will sublimate and we'll be left with sodium chloride.

Does inhalation of naphthalene balls cause any danger?
Most certainly, inhalation of naphthalene is dangerous!
Do naphthalene balls sublime?
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.
What is the use of Naphthalene balls at?
they're called mothballs-for moths.
What is the actual cost of 1 kg of nepthlene balls in Indian scenario and currency?
naphthalene balls
Smell moth balls?
Naphthalene (ingredient of napalm)
