Nonaromatic

A term describing organic compounds that do not contain a conjugated system of pi electrons in a ring, thus not meeting the criteria for aromaticity.

Aromatic

Refers to compounds that contain a ring of continuously overlapping p-orbitals, displaying enhanced stability as seen in benzene.

Nonaromatic

Refers to organic compounds that do not fulfill the criteria for aromaticity, lacking a conjugated system of pi electrons.
