Should scissors be followed by is or are?
Generally, the word "scissors" isn't (is is used here since we are talking about a word) used by itself, but follows the counter pair.Thus, instead of saying something like"This/These scissors is/are quite sharp!",we would say something along the lines of"This pair of scissors is quite sharp!" or "These pairs of scissors are quite sharp!"Do note that instead of placing the deciding factor on the word scissors, we turn to the word pair instead.Hope this helps!

'scissors is on the desk' is it right?
No, it is not. The word "scissors" is a noun (and although it ends in an S, it is singular); in the sentence you are asking about, it would need an article. There are two ways to do this: if you are pointing it out by name, you would say, "It is a scissors." (It's not a rock, nor a tree, nor a knife. It's a scissors-- that's what it is called.) But if you are differentiating one pair of scissors it from others, you would say, "It is the scissors I borrowed from my sister."
