Concept introduction:
The rule for aromaticity applies only if the system is planar, cyclic, and has a continuous overlap of p-orbitals.
As per Huckel’s rules for aromaticity, the molecule must possess a pi system of molecular orbitals constructed from p-orbitals that are fully conjugated around a ring. The number of electrons in the

All other compounds are nonaromatic.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the given compound is aromatic, antiaromatic, or nonaromatic is to be determined.
