The cross product results in a vector quantity that follows a right hand set of vectors; commuting the first two vectors results in a vector that is the negative of the uncommuted result, ie A x B = - B x A

The dot product results in a scalar quantity; its calculation involves scalar (ie normal) multiplication and is unaffected by commutation of the vectors, ie A . B = B . A
