The size of camphor tablets decreased because the solid camphor changed into the gaseous state. This occurs during Sublimation.

Sublimation is a type of phase transition, or a change in a state of matter, just like melting, freezing, and evaporation.

Through sublimation, a substance changes from a solid to a gas without ever passing through a liquid phase.

Eg: Dry ice, solid CO₂ are common examples of sublimation.
