Naphthalene
Naphthalene, an organic compound commonly found in pesticide such as mothball also sublimes. It sublimes easily because it is made of non-polar molecules and has van der Waals intermolecular forces. Naphthalene is a solid that sublimes at standard atmospheric temperature with the sublimation point at around 80˚C or 176˚F. At low temperature, its vapour pressure is high enough, 1 mmHg at 53˚C, to make the solid form of naphthalene evaporates into gas. On the cool surface, the sublimated vapour will be solidified to form a needle-like crystal. Naphthalene is a noxious gas that affects living organism and thus have to be used cautiously when using in a large amount
