Camphor is 1 of the substances which directly turns to gaseous state (skipping liquid state) by gaining kinetic energy.
Therefore it evaporates without leaving any residue.
The process of conversion of a substance from solid directly to liquid is called Sublimation.

Camphor disappears after some time as its surface gains kinetic energy and directly gets converted into gas. The process of converting directly into gaseous form and not in a liquid state is termed as sublimation. Hence, when camphor is given fire, it gets converted into gas and disappears, without leaving any residue.
