"Was not" is the full form of the negative past tense of the verb "to be," often used for emphasis or in formal writing. "Wasn't" is the contracted form and is more commonly used in casual conversation. Both serve the same grammatical purpose but vary in tone and context. For example, "I was not aware" sounds more formal than "I wasn't aware."
