All scalar quantities have magnitudes; what scalars don't have is direction. The magnitudes can take any value, +ve or -ve (or zero).

Zero is a number (a scalar quantity without unit) while zero vector (or null vector) is a vector quantity having zero magnitude and arbitrary direction.
Yes, the magnitude of a vector is a scalar.
If a quantity does not have a direction, its a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity.
A scalar quantity is something that has magnitude but no directional component. Examples of scalar quantities include time, mass, energy, speed, temperature, and volume.
Speed is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude but not direction, velocity is a vector quantity because it has magnitude and direction.
A Scalar Quantity has only magnitude whereas a Vector Quantity has magnitude as well as direction.Examples of scalar quantities are time, mass, distance, etc.

The magnitude of a vector is a scalar.
A scalar quantity defines only magnitude, while a vector quantity defines both a magnitude and direction.

Distance is a sclar quantity. A scalar quantity is a magnitude only. A vector has magnitude and direction. Distance AND direction is a vector quantity.
scalar
speed has only magnitude but no direction associate to it, if you consider velocity it consists of magnitude along with the direction. Hence speed is considered as a scalar quantity
Since acceleration has both a magnitude and a direction, it is therefore a vector quantity, not a scalar quantity.
