There are no scalar quantities on the list you provided.

Some examples of scalar quantities are: distance, speed, mass, cost, temperature, density

Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Distance is a scalar quantity. It refers only to how far an object has traveled. For example, 4 feet is a distance; it gives no information about direction.
