Benzene hexachloride is a nonaromatic compound
Explanation:
For a compound to be aromatic it should fulfill the following criteria:
1. It should be cyclic
2. Planar
3. It must have delocalized [4n+2] pi electron system
benzene hexachloride fulfill the first criterion but does not fulfill the second and third. So, it is non-aromatic.
