A scalar quantity is one that has only magnitude and no direction; so it is merely a number accompanied by corresponding unit. For example, length, mass, duration, speed, etc. are scalars, so they have no direction.

\huge\mathtt\purple{❥︎Vector  \:  \: quantity}

A vector quantity, on the other hand, mandatorily has magnitude with unit and a specific direction. So specifying the direction of action along with its value or magnitude is mandatory while defining or stating a vector quantity. Displacement, weight, force, velocity, etc. are vectors, and thus have specific direction of their application.
