Actually The cross product of two vector is a VECTOR product. The direction of a vector product is found by the right hand rule. Consider two vectorsA and B,AxB= CWhere C is the Cross product of A and B, and by right hand rule its direction is opposite to that of BxA that isBxA=-C


Why cross product does not obey commutative property?

The cross product of two vectors is defined as a × b sinθn Where the direction of Cross product is given by the right hand rule of cross product. According to which stretch the forefinger of the right hand in the direction of a and the middle finger in the direction of b. Then, the vector n is coming out of the thumb will represent the direction. As direction of a × b is not same to b × a. So it does not obey commutative law.
