Answer:
A vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. You can tell if a quantity is a vector by whether or not it has a direction associated with it. Example: Speed is a scalar quantity, but velocity is a vector that specifies both a direction as well as a magnitude

Answer:
Scalar and Vector are the two major classifications of a quantity. The crucial difference between scalar and vector quantity is that a scalar quantity is the one that is simply associated with the magnitude of any quantity. As against a physical quantity that considers both magnitude, as well as direction, is termed as a vector quantity.
scalar eg- distance, speed , temperature etc
vector eg- displacement , force electric field etc
