There is no direction in number of moles, so it is scalar.
Since you can represent that with a single number, it isn't a vector - just a scalar.
Distance is a scalar. But displacement is a vector.

In physics, "vector" usually means that a direction is relevant. If you just have a number, as in "number of moles", then a direction is NOT relevant.

A scalar is just a number. A vector is a row or column of numbers. For example: 6 is a scalar while (1, 0, 23.5) is a vector.
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
vector
A scalar quantity added to a vector quantity is a complex quantity. An example is a complex number z = a + ib, a is the scalar and ib is the vector quantity.If the vector quantity is 3 dimensional, ib + jc + kd, then the scalar and vector forms a quaternion quantity.
A positive scalar multiplied by a vector, will only change the vector's magnitude, not the direction. A negative scalar multiplied by the vector will reverse the direction by 180°.
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
Yes, the magnitude of a vector is a scalar.
A scalar quantity is just a number e.g. 3 miles A vector quantity is a number with directions e.g. 3 miles south So the difference between them is that vector has a particular direction to go with but a scalar quantity is just a number.
