Answer:

Given two unit vectors, their cross product has a magnitude of 1 if the two are perpendicular and a magnitude of zero if the two are parallel. The dot product of two unit vectors behaves just oppositely: it is zero when the unit vectors are perpendicular and 1 if the unit vectors are parallel.

The magnitude of the scalar product of two unit vectors perpendicular to each other is zero.

Unit Vector:

A quantity with both magnitude and direction is referred to as a vector. A unit vector is one with a magnitude of 1. It also goes by the name Direction Vector.

Unit Vector is denoted by the symbol ‘^’, which is called a cap. A vector space's base is often made up of unit vectors. It is possible to express each vector in the space as a linear combination of unit vectors.

While the cross product of two random unit vectors produces a third vector that is orthogonal to both of them, the dot product of two unit vectors produces a scalar quantity.  

And the magnitude of the scalar product of two unit vectors perpendicular to each other is​ always equal to zero.
