Expert Solution
Step 1

The aromaticity of a compound depicted by Huckel's rule of aromaticity :

  • The molecule has to be cyclic.
  • The molecule has to be planar (where cyclic conjugation is observed)
  • The molecule should contains (4n+2) π electrons. 

For the anti-aromatic compound , all the rules are same except the third one where ,

The molecule contains 4n π electrons.

For the non-aromatic compound the molecule is not planar and no conjugation is observed.
