7.000000e-6
It is: 8.9*106
It is: 9.25*102
Scientific notation is used when vast quantities of numbers are used such as the distances of faraway planets or in biology when the tiniest of decimals are used.
Scientific notation produces convenient numbers when working with very small or very large quantities.

Representation of very large or very small numbers or quantities in a straightforward way.
Scientific notation produces convenient numbers when working with very small or very large quantities.
Scientific notation is not a puzzle or equation that needs to be "solved". You do not "solve" rational fractions - they are just a way of representing numbers. In the same way, scientific notation is simply one way of representing numbers. It is usually used for very large or very small quantities.
Not at all. Scalar are numerical quantities without direction (for example time) where as vectors are numerical quantities with direction (for example gravitational force downward)
Scientific notation is useful because it helps to read values' significant figures (sigfigs). For example, the number: 6.02^(-10) is much easier to read than .000000000602. When dealing with especially large or small quantities, scientific notation makes it easier to understand how big or small the quantity is.
Sometimes engineers use either scientific or engineering notation, although you are correct that most of the time engineering notation is used. The reason for this the use if greek letter prefixes for quantities. Very often large and small quantities are expressed as micro, mega, giga, nano, and so on. These terms relate to engineering notation in multiples of 1000 or 1/1000. It is a very convenient shorthand not only in writing but also while speaking.
