Given in the question

P(x_1, y_1, z_1) \: \: and \: \: Q(x_2, y_2, z_2).

 And we need to find the scalar components and magnitude of the vector joining the points P and Q

\vec {PQ}=(x_2-x_1)\hat i +(y_2-y_1)\hat j+(z_2-z_1)\hat k

Magnitiude of vector PQ

|\vec {PQ}|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2+(z_2-z_1)^2}

Scalar components are

(x_2-x_1),(y_2-y_1),(z_2-z_1)
