Energy, Presssure and Work are scalar quantities since they work in multiple directions resulting only in magnitude required to describe them.
Momentum ,p→​=mv→acts in the direction of applied velocity, a vector, hence momentum requires both magnitude & direction to be fully described making it a vector.
