Expert Solution
Step 1

Any molecule is said to be Aromatic if it follow the following

  1. the molecule must follow Huckel's rule, (4n+ 2)π electrons
  2. the molecule must be able to be planar ( sp2 hybridized)
  3. the molecule must be cyclic
  4. every atom in the ring must be able to participate in delocalizing the electrons by having a p-orbital or an unshared pair of electrons

  Following all above the rules except Huckel’s Rule if the molecule contains (4n )π electrons, then it is said to be Anti aromatic.

  The molecule which does not follow the above rules is called Non-Aromatic
