Torque is vector energy. Physicists have mistakenly defined energy as a scalar. Energy is a quaternion consisting of scalar energy (potential) and vector energy (torque). The units of torque is Joules or Newton meter, the same as work or energy..

Here is the correct definition of Energy = FD = -F.D + FxD where F is force vector in Newtons and D is displacement vector in meters.

F.D = - FDcos(Angle) is the Work or scalar energy and FxD=FDsin(Angle) is the Torque or vector energy. If the angle between the force and displacement is 90 degrees there is only torque; if the angle is a zero degrees there is only work or scalar energy ; if the angle is not a multiple of these two angles there is both scalar and vector energy; work and torque. E.g FD= -Fdcos(45) + Fd sin(45) gives work and torque.
