Definitions:

Aromatic

Compounds that contain a planar ring of atoms that are stabilized by a delocalization of pi electrons according to Huckel's rule.

Antiaromatic

Antiaromatic compounds are cyclic, planar molecules that possess 4n π electrons (where n is an integer) and are destabilized due to their electronic structure, contradicting the stability seen in aromatic compounds.

Aromatic

Pertains to organic compounds that contain one or more planar rings of atoms with a degree of stability and special electronic structures.

Antiaromatic

Compounds that have conjugated pi electrons in a cyclic ring, destabilized by not following Huckel's rule for aromatic stability.
