Aromatic, antiaromatic, and nonaromatic are classifications for chemical compounds.
Aromatic compounds are cyclic, planar, completely conjugated compounds with 4n + 2 π electrons. Aromatic compounds always follow the Huckel rule with a (4n+2) π electrons conjugation.
Antiaromatic compounds are cyclic, conjugated, have (4n) pi electrons, and are flat.
Nonaromatic compounds are any other molecule that fails one of the conditions for aromatic or antiaromatic compounds. Nonaromatic compounds can be non-cyclic or not in a planar form.
The aromatic hydrocarbons contain ring systems with a delocalized electron clouds while the non-aromatic hydrocarbons do not contain such a ring system.
