The necessary conditions for a molecule to be aromatic are:
It should have a single cyclic cloud of delocalised n-electrons above and below the plane of the molecule.
It should be planar. This is because complete delocalization of n-electrons is possible only if the ring is planar to allow cyclic overlap of p-orbitals.
It should contain Huckel number of electrons, i.e., (4n + 2) n-electrons where n = 0, 1, 2, 3 etc. A molecule which does not satisfy any one or more of the above conditions is said to be non-aromatic.
