No, most mothballs are made of a solid hydrocarbon called Naphthalene. Its vapors are toxic to most insects.

Why are carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are not example of organic chemistry?

Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are not examples of organic chemistry because they do not contain hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms. Organic chemistry focuses on compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, whereas carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) consist of carbon atoms bonded to oxygen atoms instead.


What happens when mothballs are added to baking soda and vinegar?

This demonstration actually works better when the mothballs are added to a clear soda drink (e.g. 7-Up). The mothballs by themselves are just a little bit denser than the liquid, so they sink to the bottom. As carbon dioxide bubbles accumulate on the outside of the mothballs they eventually become buoyant and slowly rise to the top. While at the top the bubbles break and the mothballs sink again. This will repeat until the liquid runs out of carbon dioxide. As the mothballs are not soluble in water, if you use a clear soda drink you can still drink it when you are done (after removing the mothballs so you won't risk swallowing one and choking), but it of course will be somewhat "flat".
