Is Vietnam is east or west prime meridian?

It depends on the connotation of Prime Meridian. Although there are a number of meridians defined as prime meridians, the Greenwich Meridian was established as the international prime meridian in 1884 and is at 0 degrees longitude. The opposite is 180 degrees longitude. Vietnam is located between 100 and 110 degrees east longitude and between 0 and 25 degrees north latitude. To locate Vietnam using west longitudinal reference it would be between 250 and 260 degrees west longitude. Since the distance from the prime latitude to Vietnam is shorter in the eastward direction than the westward direction it would be considered east of prime meridian.

Why does it snow in the northern hemisphere and not in the southern hemisphere?

That is not at all true. You will find snow in the south temperate regions (and regions farther south) of Africa, South America, Antarctica and Australia, and possibly other parts of the south as well. It also snows in the oceans far south enough for snow to form.

What is the definition of fractional scale?

A fractional scale is a way that map makers tell you what distances on the map represent in real life. It does not use any units, so the scale might state 1:100000 [or 1/100000] which means that 1 unit on the map represents 100000 units in the real world. For example if you measure off 1 cm on the map, this represents 100000 cm (equivalent to 1000 m or 1 km) in the real world. See related link, below.

Compare the northern hemisphere over the southern hemisphere ozone depletion?

Depletion is depletion, everywhere.

The size and duration of the ozone hole is a symptom of both how much water surface is located below it, and contaminants that require visible light to be photoactivated into ozone destruction.

Don't be distracted by the size of the ozone hole.
