Question

When and why do clothes smell of naphthalene?

Short Answer

Solution

The naphthalene balls are continuously converted into small particles in the gaseous state. These particles settle down on the clothes in which they are kept. Therefore, if naphthalene balls are kept for a long time in the clothes, they smell of naphthalene due to these particles.
